God Help Us

x

God help us

Everyone

And God will

We only have to ask

And sometimes

Not that much

We call it grace

And miracle

Held and dispensed

By no one

But the Lord

x

So light a candle

Safely

Or do not

Really nothing is required

No tired rite

Or something new

For invocation

And our supplication

x

There is no order

Memorized

Say help into air

Or at the ground

Or leave it to the mind

A receptable

For meeting

x

God is here

God is there

God waits

On our interest

And our need

x

Ask

Receive

Try not

To fret the timing

There’s an answer

Every time

That serves

That aids

That loves

corn was a gift

you know

for those who landed

from those already here

x

maybe we could greet each wave

from ships

at borders

in this way

x

a generation

and a kind

welcoming the other to new worlds

as our own
