To Be the Embodiment of Love

Mother, Father, God, Great Spirit, Our Creator,
Please reignite the flame within my soul,
Please reignite the fire within my heart,
So that I may be a beacon of light and hope for others.

For I wish to be the embodiment of love.

May I embody love so fully
that my intentions can never be mistaken.
May I embody love so fully
that my mere presence provides others comfort.
May I embody love so fully
that it gleams brightly in my eyes for all to see.

I wish to be the embodiment of peace and of grace.

May I embody peace so fully
that the words I pour onto the page
provide my readers with peace of mind.
May I embody grace so fully
that those who might call themselves 'sinners'
can feel forgiven in my presence.

I wish to be the embodiment of joy and laughter.

May I embody joy so fully
that those around me can't help but smile.
And may I embody laughter so fully
that those around me share my ecstasy.

May I be the embodiment of love and light;
May I be the embodiment of joy and laughter;
May I be the embodiment of peace and grace,
so that I may bless everyone I meet
with my presence,
with my words,
with my prayers.

I wish for all of this
and that I remain free
of judgements and conceit.
