The Seeds of a New Day

The early-morning light brushes the sky

With gentle touches of color

And the seeds of a new day are planted.

Plant your beauty in us.

Plant your peace in us.

Plant your love in us.

Let the world be ready

For your seeds of patience,

Seeds of compassion,

Seeds of peace.

Let these seeds

Be planted in our hearts,

In our families,

In our world.

We are yours, Loving God.

Amen.
