Bright day
Lead me into the light
Do not allow my fear and foreboding
To imprison me
Keeping me hostage in my mind
Grant me the courage to extend myself
Beyond my own small world
And limited view
To enter the reality of others
Let me remember that no one
I meet
Is truly a stranger
And when those who do not like to open
Keep their eyes downcast
And walk on by me on this path called life
Only frowning or muttering to themselves
Let me bless them on their way
Let me enjoy the journey
Keep my heart open
And most of all
Grant me and everyone else
Peace
