Go Gently, Sunday Morning


Go gently,
Sunday morning,
grant rest
to the weary,
solace to those
afraid.

Tender hands
arrange
bright flowers
on the table,
coffee, sugar,
bread.

Know me
as you know
the bright
green stems,
whisper
nature�s lace
printed softly
on the ground.

Go gently,
Sunday morning,
leave sweet
daylight kisses
undisturbed,
guide love
safely across
this quiet pond.

Go gently,
Sunday morning,
bless children
naked in the sun,
bless their bodies
yearning
for the new day
just begun.

Go gently,
Sunday morning,
go gently,
be kind
to everyone.
