I pray that God
\nnot be lonely.
\nThat I see the portrait
\nof a child,
\nin every aged face.
\nThat nothing goes away
\nwithout its innocence.<\/p>\n
I pray that God
\ndoesn’t lose us.
\nThat we understand
\nhis silences.
\nThat stars are meant
\nto see,
\nnot to touch.
\nThat God feels
\nthe hunger of our hearts.<\/p>\n
I pray that God
\nkeeps us.
\nThat what we say
\nis taken, every word.
\nThat God needs us
\nas we need Him.
\nThat tides go out
\nand return
\nwhich ever way,
\nthe love in every prayer
\nis heard and saves us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
