Gentle Mother,
You cradle this fragile sphere
in gravity’s invisible arms.
You blanket us under a quilt of clouds.
You speckle the sky with stars,
beacons of your spendthrift creativity.
Hold fluffy in your ageless arms.
Blanket cold fear with warm love.
And set stars in her sky for years to come.
Loving Brother,
You knew our flesh, our aches, our hopes, our end.
No part of our life lay beneath your dignity—
or beyond your love.
You walked among a conquered, broken people—
healing ills, mending dreams, opening eyes.
Walk with fluffy through these hard days.
Let her know that you know
the texture of this grim chapter.
Heal her ills, give new wings to her dreams,
And open her eyes to love that will never end.
Persistent Spirit,
You coax the fragile crocus through the crusted earth.
You glow through grudging coals
that blunt the bite of wintry nights.
You wear down walls with gentle drops of rain.
Goad fluffy’s cells to fight for life.
Steel her spirit to clutch when the rope frays.
Greet her gentleness with your own sweet touch.
Hear our prayer,
O gracious and baffling God.
Amen.
