All the Day Long

Bless everyone and everything all day long

Forgive everyone and everything all day long

Bless the cup from which I drink

Bless the spoon from which I eat

Bless my feet that walk on the ground

Bless the rooms that give me shelter

Forgive the cup that shatters to the floor

Forgive the fingers that lose their grip

Forgive the body that falls sick with doubt

Forgive the remedies that fail to cure

Bless each person that comes my way

Bless each smile that radiates from within

Forgive the anger that erupts in pain

Forgive the ceaseless sorrow that lands each day

Blessing and forgiving are keys to heaven

Heaven on earth is the sweet gift that arrives

I open this gift eagerly

Bless bless bless

Forgive forgive forgive

All the day long

This fine poem should make all the men of violence hang their heads in shame. Thank you, Hélène.
