that I am One of a Whole --
each are special
each have needs
and no one is invincible.
Grant me courage
to be compassionate,
whether or not
others may understand my tears.
May my heart never
grow cold nor indifferent.
May my eyes never look away.
May my arms never cease to embrace,
my hands never falter to touch.
Grant me courage
to love
with compassion.
