A Leader's Prayer,

by **Novastare** 5/29/2010, 10:03 pm

Dear Lord,

Help my mind, body, soul, and spirit,
Be a servant to you, and a leader to them.
May age not matter, but mind be the judge,
May you lead be steps, and the rock that won't budge.
Just as I wish for you as my witness,
Let me be a witness to those like me.
Just as a mirror reflects my surface,
May you reflect through me,
This is my purpose.
May I stand before my foes, but fall before you,
Let my hands hit the ground, before they ever do.
May my sword, shield, bow, and arrow,
Safe every soul, and yet not harm even the smallest of sparrow.
Help me to be a friend to all, but know my place,
To stand in any circle, yet reflect your face.
May you bless those who walk behind, for I could learn from them,
For they lift me up often more then I lift them.
Let me know that a lion always needs a pride,
Rather you tell me to stand, or I run and hide.
May you cut me down if I grow too tall,
May I honor you, and give you my all.
May I stand before horror, and never fall down,
May I remember my Shepard, is always around.

And to heaven's name, so a leader prays,
Guide me for all the rest of my days.

Amen.

This is different than the freewrites I usually see. ^^ Usually they're, like, stories, so I'm kinda surprised to see something different. I like it! :3
