May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths,
Superficial relationships, so that you
Will live deep within your heart
May God bless you with anger at
Injustice, oppression, and
Exploitation of people, so that you
Will work for justice, equity,
And peace.
May God bless you with tears to
Shed for those who suffer from pain,
Rejection, starvation and war, so
That you will reach out your hand to
Comfort them and change
Their pain into joy.
And may God bless you with the
Foolishness to think that you can
Make a difference in the world, so
That you will do the things which
Others tell you cannot be done.
