A Rhythm for My Life
by Kenneth Chafin
Help me to find a rhythm for my life
in keeping with my strength, my gifts,
my opportunities, my commitments,
and Thy larger purpose.
Let there be a celebration of life,
the building of relationships,
and the nurturing of others.
Let there be unhurried strolls in the woods,
quiet mornings spent on the pond,
poking around country roads,
Afternoon naps in the porch swing,
leisurely meals with friends,
chickadees fed and zinnias grown.
Let there come to me a quietness of soul,
a relaxed body, an alert mind,
a gentle touch, an inner peace,
an integrity of being.
