A New Year

This is a poem that was written by Lois Wyse in the 1970's.

PRAYER FOR A NEW YEAR

Instead of anger
Let me feel
Compassion

Instead of rage
Let me show
Concern

Instead of hate
Let me seek
Change.

For if
To a warring, wondering world
Each of us will bring

Compassion
Concern
Change,

Then perhaps there will be

Love.
