Summer Prayer
bless the heat that bears down on me
bless the body that withstands
bless the sun’s setting
bless the respite of night
bless the cool of the morning
bless the breeze that it brings
bless the window above my dishes
bless the dishes
and these shriveled hands
and these shriveled hands
bless the day

So lovely! A perfect prayer for these hot months. I especially love, “the body that withstands”, and the repetition of “these shriveled hands”- gorgeous
Beautiful.
The repetition. OH!
“bless the day”
Amen.
Bless you for this blessing prayer!
Love the reptition ‘bless the’ and then the break to “and these” to the solid landing “bless the day”.
Especially love “bless the body that withstands “
