Refresh Us, God, A Prayer Poem by Glen Kappy

Refresh Us, God, A Prayer

Rating: 5.0


Refresh us, God, with drenching rains
that will make our own irrigations laughable
that will make for lush vegetable growth
and heady fragrance
and shade so cool it is nearly drinkable.

Precious for sure the thirst
that makes us long
for your clouds and showers.

But before all moisture's gone
and heat makes short
our patience and compassion
refresh so every grain and cell will taste
your sentient and revitalizing power.

Glen this is a beautiful piece, it comes from a thirsty soul. And God is so kind to wash our thirsty souls, and human's need and tenderness comes out through prayers like this. Beautiful.

A beautiful, meaningful prayer based on the utter need of the human soul. In understanding of need we gain wisdom. Refreshed we live.
