My prayer for you

I once prayed for a friend

Someone strong to the end.

My weakness to shield

When spirit did yield.

With weapons of wisdom

Forged in life’s maelstrom.

Stand to the fore

    Against inner war.

Did fend off delusion

    To shatter confusion.

Darkness of night

    Defeated by light.

Hope now my sword

Life’s passion restored.

I am you,

    You are me,

        We are one,

            My prayer is for us.
