Just Be Ready
William Stafford
You can’t tell when strange things with meaning
will happen. I’m [still] here writing it down
just the way it was.
“You don’t have to prove anything,”
my mother said. “Just be ready
for what God sends.”
I listened and put my hand
out in the sun again. It was all easy.
Pray: Breathe on Me
Edwin Hatch
Breathe on me
Breath of God
Fill me
with life anew
I want to love
as You love
and do
as You want me to do.
Breathe on me
Breath of God
until I
am wholly Thine
until this
earthly part of me
glows with
Your fire divine.
