this is a poem, a healing hymn
a prayer most especiallyfor a friend with breast cancer
a reader and writer of books
a teacher of teachers, of many children
a wife and a mother of two
it is a prayer not just for her
but for all the women
who have struggled, again and
again with breast cancer
my aunt was one of them
and yet she lived a long and full life
generous in spirit
generous in love
generous in hope
there is a healing
there is a healingthere is a healing
I say this three times now
that we may all join in
it is a healing
of the heart, of the body
it is a deep healing
of the spirit and of the soul
it is a healing found, through
the compassion we give to others
to those we love and even the stranger
this is my prayer
this is my prayer
this is my prayer
I say this three times too
pray it with me, pray it
out loud with a strong sure voice
let the light of God’s love
the love within you each
be joined to flesh and bone
let such a love
enter into every cell and organ
let it rush in passionately and fully
through every vein and artery
through the blood and heart
down deep into every molecule
into genes and DNA
healing each single one
filling them with a light
a light of healing
that repairs the body
and transforms the soul
let this be a healing hymn
a hymn of praise and wonder, one
that echoes throughout creation
let this healing be the next
great thing, let these words
and thoughts shape such a reality
and teach us all, of the
infinite possibilities of love
found in life, the blessing of life
let life call out to life
and love call out to love
let it be so, always
this is my prayer
this is my prayer
this is my prayer
I say this again, three times three
pray it with me please, sing it
out loud with a strong sure voice
