The Language of Love

Prayers - Thanksgiving Prayer

By Lori Strawn

The Language of Love

Thanks be to YouWTheLanguageofLove-Prayer
for semi-colons,
for m-dashes, ellipses, and commas.
Glory be in the languages of Earth,
in Morse code and Braille,
in Swahili and Portuguese.
You made us social beings,
then gave us the gift that binds,
that brings us together
in conversation, chatter, exclamation.
Joy comes from communication,
as does peace.
Help us to use our words wisely and well.
