Remembering

In honour of
Kenneth Charles Ledee
Deeply loved and sadly missed, this day and every day.

***

We pray for the power to be gentle;
The strength to be forgiving;
The patience to be understanding;
And the endurance to accept the consequences
Of holding what we believe to be right.

May we put our trust in
The power of good to overcome evil
And the power of love
To overcome hatred.

We pray for the vision to see
And the faith to believe in a world
Emancipated from violence,
A new world where fear
Shall no longer lead men to commit injustice,
Nor selfishness make them
Bring suffering to others.

Help us to devote our whole life
And thought and energy
To the task of making peace,
Praying always for the inspiration
And the power to fulfill the destiny
For which we were created.

For my beloved friends Anna & Carlos & the Ledee family,
across the miles, with all my love.
