Make Me, Let Me

Make me the reason for
the sparkle in your eyes
the spring in your step
the ripple in your thighs.

Make me the source of
the smile on your lips
the racing of your pulse
the quiver in your hips.

Let me be the one who lets
your heart skip a beat
your blood stir in rapture
your temple throb in heat.

Let me be the only one
your whole being surrenders to.
Let me be the only love
you’ll ever know.

I’d like to bury my face
in your chest for always.
Would I finally be home
in your warm, tight embrace?

A Morning Prayer

God Almighty,

Let this new morning bring sunshine and laughter to those who believe in Your infinite goodness and mercy;

Let the flowers bloom in all their magnificent colors that they may bring cheer to the forlorn and hope to the desperate;

Let the grass grow greener and softer that they may bring rest and comfort to weary feet;

Let the trees spread their leafy arms far and wide that they may bring refuge to lost souls and broken spirits;

Let the birds sing mighty songs of praise and wonderment that they may bring serenity to anguished hearts and peace to troubled minds.

Lord, let me live each day as if it were the last, help me walk the long and narrow path to righteousness, show me the burning flame of Your everlasting love, so that I may bask in the shower of Your generous blessings today and always.

Give me strength for the day that I may face my fears with courage and fortitude.
Keep me away from the vagaries of temptation and the lures of sin.
Open my heart that I may become sensitive to the feelings of others.
Open my mind to new and rewarding possibilities that will uplift me as a person.
Grant me the humility to understand that while I am superior to some, I am inferior to many.
Allow me to discern the truth in the eyes of those I will meet along the way.
Make me persevere to do Your will with absolute trust and conviction.
Bless me with enough passion to inspire joy and positive reactions, and instill in me the value of loyalty that I may remain faithful to those whom I hold near and dear.

I ask You these through Christ our Lord. Amen.
