Separate me…
…from negativity,
Anxiety, fear,
And the machinations of evil and aspiring men.
Seclude me…
…in quietude,
In succor, in comfort,
And in love.
Inoculate me…
…against angst and panic,
And if I am to be in chains,
Let me be chained to goodness,
Mercy, and service to my fellow man.
A body destroyed is a tragedy;
But a soul taken through fear is a crime against God’s creation.
