If we utter the word mercy…
maybe, when it takes flight
Into deed and kindness, justice and effort,
It will effect a healing, a hope and a blessing.
It may call the homeless home,
It may coax to hope the betrayed and broken,
It may ease the burdened earth.
Listen for it….
Listen for its neighborly dialects and global idiom.
Imagine those who, like you, are saying it aloud,
And those who need to hear it, today….
One word, one deed of justice, one kind effort at a time.
Loving God, give us the courage to say and to be mercy today.—AMEN..
