This was the Rotary Prayer
For
January 6, 2010
We live in
A snow-castle
World of white...
Enchanting,
And ermine draped;
A photographer’s dream
Is our rural scene,
A breathtaking
Winter ‘scape.
May all of us always have eyes to see
The beauty around us here,
In all of the seasons,
And even now,
At this ice-laden time of year.
Though some flee the north
For sunnier climes,
In the balmy south
To roam,
The rest are more tough,
Made of sturdier stuff,
And prefer to stay
Right here
At
Home!
So, Lord,
Bless our friends,
Who are wimpish and weak:
They crave warmth,
And we pray they
Secure it.
And while You are at it,
Bless those
Who stayed here,
And give us the strength
To endure it!.
Amen.
