Love for All

From Durango, CO on 09/19/20 by Leigh LaRue

Guide us, God, to love one another

Despite color, religion, or creed

Remind us that we share the same home,

That the same color do we bleed

United we stand, separate we fall

Somehow bring us together fast

We’re running short on hours and minutes

Guide us in our present and forgive us our past

We share this planet with abundance of life

Everyone, everything deserves the same love

No way we could make it alone here

Not even with great help from above

Trees, water, creatures high and low

All bring their unique gifts and magic here

We must stop consuming all that is not us

Let us begin to treat all as precious and dear

I know it’s not going to be easy

To change our perspectives and ways

To remember that we’re more alike than not

But we must if we wish for more days

No matter who you are and what you have done

I love you and forgive you and wish you well always

I forgive myself for misguidance and misgivings

My mind is clear, heart is full, and soul is ablaze

I release all hatred, jealousy, and judgement

For all that is different from me

I honor and value all of life on our earth

I’ve been blind my whole life, but now I see

Thank you Great Spirit for loving us all

And helping us do the same

I know we’ll wake up and find our way

That it’s just the beginning, not the end-game

Bless us all on our unique journeys

But remind us that we share the same goals

To heal ourselves and help one another

To clear our debts and advance our souls
