A Single Plea

There is one thing

I’d like to express today,

from the time I step 

out of my bed

until I fall into it again,

one small act

that carries into

all that I encounter,

that continues everywhere

I go, that becomes

bigger than any problem

or inconvenience, 

that spreads to others,

this one thing I ask,

Father, unequivocally, 

without hesitation, no matter

my mood or the pressing

in of life….May I be kind.
