AUTUMN IN AUSTRALIA
MORNING PRAYER (Wednesday 28 April 2021)
AUTUMN
God be with us as the leaves fall
May we shed something of ourselves
Our prejudice, our pettiness
May these be trodden underfoot like cracking leaves
May we awaken to the dignity of people
Even those we usually ignore
In Autumn may our souls be bare
Open to you, reaching for you
With much needed rain you nourish us
With bracing cold you awaken us
We see the people huddled in doorways
Trying to keep warm out of the wind
They are trees reaching up to you too
More fragile than we are – not sheltered
By home and family. As the leaves fall
God be with us; help us to see.
