Surrender…

 Surrounded by a hostile world
Demanding that we change and conform

Our defence? We surrender!

Surrender our fists, clenched in anger…in exchange for open hands of trust

Surrender our hostilities and aggression…in exchange for a loving embrace

Surrender our weapons of mass destruction…in exchange for the tools of harvest

Surrender our hatred of others…in exchange for a circle of sisters and brothers

Surrender our misguided will…in exchange for the will of our Creator

We surrender to faith…

We surrender to prayer…

We surrender to God…

We surrender
