Tender Blooms

Bless this tender bloom.

Beauty emerging in the turmoil of spring.

Delicate, intricate, miracle of life.

Reflecting the presence of the Holy One.

Bless this tender one,

Grieving a mother who was loved.

Losing a husband, burying a child.

Holy One, send your presence, your comfort.

Bless this tender world.

May beauty show forth in unexpected places.

New life in a refugee camp;

kindness in the aftermath of terror.

Let us reflect your presence, your comfort, your love.

Holy one, we are yours.
