I cherish humankind especially those who are open hearted, accepting and inclusive
I cherish healthy food, clean air and water, enough to pay the bills, safety and shelter
I cherish the freedom to enhance my inner well-being by contemplation and prayer!
No distractions or devices as I dwell on the silence within
I pray for the day when we will all realise that world peace starts within us
I pray that all have sufficient for our basic human needs
I pray that those governed by greed will realise it’s shortcomings
Not making wars just for profit where many are harmed and so much destroyed
I pray for generosity of care, skills and wealth
I pray for generosity when we become kinder to ourselves and each other
I pray for generosity when those with excess share with the needy
Giving ensures contentment and security for all, it protects and nurtures …

I cherish the innocence I see everywhere
I cherish the newborns trust
I cherish the giving of others always there
You know the people you meet
Who before they even greet
Go out of their way
