It is painful when I trip
Over my blind spots
They show up this way
In the dark
It is only through
The pain
That they get
My attention
Now I know
It is time to grow
Again

The Path of Peace
Guide my feet
In the path of peace
May I do my part
That war may cease
Teach me how
To listen well
To refrain from judgment
Sending others to hell
It’s not my place
It’s not my call
Judgment stirs up strife
It builds a wall
May I understand
What it is to be
In another’s place
Not obsessed with me
Lean into You
Sit at Your feet
See through Your eyes
Everyone I meet
Invite the stranger in
Share a meal
Enjoy diversity
Let kindness heal
Fear will die
I can lay it to rest
When I choose love
It is the very best
Love will do the job
It will get to work
Root out the darkness
Wherever it may lurk
