Give us courage

Give us courage,
  to go the extra mile.
To reach out a hand
  in greeting and kindness.
To give what we have
  with abundance and joy.
To know you are
  always present in giving.
Give us courage
  to be with others,
Even when we don't
  agree, help us listen.
Help us be companions
  because we are all apart
Of the one human
  family and knit together
In your love and care.
  give us courage.
