Yesterday
i held myself in a frame of mind
that kept my attitude defined
as i reviewed the passing day
until i thought, “It’s time to pray.”
     Whatever gods have nurtured me
     are symbols of divinity;
     not to worship or bow down to
     but to love–and that’s what i do.
No jealous Gods ever appear
to keep me quavering in fear.
The gods i love are like ideals
which cosmic consciousness reveals.
     I thank you for my attitude
     of awe, wonder, and gratitude.
