May my breath
be a prayer for you.
You a stranger I have yet
to welcome in my heart.

I pray that you will be safe
that you will find a safe place
to grow.

When you feel rejected and hated,
may you be held by a gentle friend
that accepts you for you.

May you encounter a loving God
in the laughter of babies
and in the eyes of puppies.

My breadth is a prayer,
and in the process of writing this prayer,
the doors of my heart have opened
to welcome you
