prayer
empty
us empty us
of unnecessary fear and
hesitation
help us face obstacles,
that may, in the fullness
of time
reveal themselves as
blessings
empty us
of those clever arguments
those cunning defenses
we think we need
whenever we try
to mask our weaknesses and
limitations
empty us
of opinion and judgment
about other people’s
business
remind us
that whenever we stray
all we need to do is
return
remind us to be mindful
of the courage it
sometimes takes
to reach for the highest
in us
bless us
with loving family
and caring friends
guide us to tefilah
tzedakah t’shuvah
take us
high take us deep
keep us thankful
