Be an instrument of peace
Even though you know
There is nothing beyond brother sun and sister moon
Where there is hatred and sorrow
Offer patience, understanding and the strength to listen and hear
Where there is injury
Stand with the injured and do not strike at the offender but
Offer silent strength to both
Walk with the oppressed
Sit with the grieving
Embrace the neglected and forgotten
And when you do these things
And when you knock on the door that goes unanswered
Or where the response is laughter and ridicule
Be an instrument of peace
Even though you know
There is nothing beyond brother sun and sister moon
