Come, let us be glad for Life
for the week we have just lived
for the miles we have walked,
or traveled in buses or trains, or driven
for the meals prepared
and the groceries shopped
and the emails sent
and the hours clocked
the uniforms washed,
the dogs walked,
the people we served
and the young ones we taught
for the lessons we learned
and horizons we glimpsed
for the works we have done
and the work still unfinished
let us gather our strength
for whatever comes next
and be glad
for the sun
and the trees
and our breath
let us rest
on the rock
of our salvation
and be blessed
