Mirror Image

Lord may we learn from creation
may we look to the vast blue sea

to the mountains, the fields and the valleys

to know how we ought to be

May we look to the gentle dolphin

as he tries to befriend mankind

and follow this creature's example,

leaving killing and hatred behind

May we look to the towering mountains

holding fast against tempest and rain

as we struggle with sorrow and tragedy,

finding strength amidst suffering and pain

As we look to the fields and the harvest,

all golden and bursting with grain,

may we learn how to share with each other,

may our 'giving' replace all our 'gain'

Then, as in the river's reflection

of the blue of the heavens above

so too we will mirror the image

of God's totally unselfish love
