Help me remember, Lord,
that everyone I meet today
will have cares and concerns of their own,
many of them much greater than mine...
Help me remember, Lord,
that the folks I speak with today
will be carrying their own secret burdens,
some exactly the same as mine...
Help me remember, Lord,
that every person I know
bears some loss, some grief,
some wound that throbs as mine does...
Help me remember, Lord,
that just as no one knows
all I hold within my soul,
neither do I know
all that weighs on others' hearts...
Make me gentle, then, along my path
and peaceful in my words,
help me meet my neighbors everywhere
as I'd have them meet me...
Amen.
