Prayer at Daybreak

My only certainty in life
Appears to be change
Forever constant
Forever present in the Now
Blessed may it be

Life structured around action
Physical being in a material world
Manifestation of the Divine
When I surrender to the Will
And act with integrity

I take pity on myself
And share my compassion
For Self with Others
I express my being with love
So love will return in kind

I have known times of hardship
I had to leave emotions to rest
In order to heal my soul
I learned to trust myself
I am on the right path

My name is Valor
I am the courage
To face tomorrow
Head held high
A kiss on my lips

Those around me radiate
With hope for what’s to come
I fear the pictures of failure
Which chain my progress
Liberation my mantra

Every moment a new beginning
Every breath holds rebirth
All is one within and without
Meaning for what was becomes clear
I look to the light and surrender
