Blessings


Dear God,

Please bless that we will be safe throughout our day
Please bless that the food will nourish and strengthen our bodies
Please bless we will do well in school and at work

But please,

bless the lost and lonely
the bare and broken

Bless these girls that are putting on hair extensions only to stare at their reflections
Bless the guys to lift up a family and not only weights.
Bless that these girls get dates.

Please,

Bless the Friday nights and the Monday mornings
the weary and the dreary
Bless the choices we make

Bless the sunset coloring in the sky
Bless that I'll avoid getting high
Bless the streets who've seen 2 too many wrecks
and the ones who oversend texts

Please,

Bless the wars and the warriors,
The homeless and the helpless,
Bless the teachers and the kids

Bless him, bless her
Bless we, bless me

Bless us.

    This whole thing was amazing, but I really liked that line.

Quotes

  • "I wanna live a little more"-Jane Doe
  • "It may seem odd to think of having a relationship with ourselves, but we do. Some people can't get along with themselves. They criticize and belittle themselves all day long unitl they begin to hate themselves. May I suggest that you reduce the rush and take a little extra time to get to know yourself better" -Dieter F.
