Poem
Holy One, I am tired.
Tired of the incessant chatter of bad news.
Tired of asking over and again, "is this real?"
Tired of wondering who will be next.
Tired of seeing families in fear.
Tired of gross lies dressed up as truth.
Tired of being angry at injustice.
Tired of the feeling helplessness.
Holy One, calm my fears,
soothe my hurt, renew my strength,
then send me to do the work of setting the world on fire with your Love.
Amen
by Episcopal Bishop Deon K. Johnson
