Poem

Dark Testament Verse 8

Pauli Murray Hope is a crushed stalk Between clenched fingers Hope is a bird’s wing Broken by a stone. Hope is a word in a tuneless ditty — A word whispered with the wind, A dream of forty acres and a mule, A cabin of one’s own and a moment to rest, A name and place for one’s children And children’s children at last . . . Hope is a song in a weary throat. Give me a song of hope And a world where I can sing it. Give me a song of faith And a people to believe in it. Give me a song of kindliness And a country where I can live it. Give me a song of hope and love And a brown girl’s heart to hear it.

To Pray for

• Peace among all nations - and an end to the ongoing war between the Ukraine and Russia which continues

• Our Queen and all of the Royal Family at this difficult time

• For our newly formed government

• For businesses struggling with rising energy costs
