When the world pushed me down to my knees,
I knew that it was time to pray.
I am blessed to still have these old knees
that allow me to kneel,
blessed to be able to prostrate,
blessed to be able to pray.
And
I am blessed
because
I have Love
For when we lose respect for life,
we lose respect for humanity,
and
when we lose respect for humanity,
we lose respect for God’s creation,
and
when we lose that,
we have lost everything.
