I WALK SLOWLY/ THE MORNING PRAYER DONE
I walk slowly
The morning prayer done-
A new week a new year begins
With the same old questions and problems-
I will not get anywhere else
I have done what I have done.
I pray I will go on for some years
In relative good health-
And when the end comes
It will not be too long or too painful
For myself and for others.
I walk home slowly
I have not conquered the world
And I am not going to.
