By: Lillian Menard

T’ isn’t hard to
A cknowledge the gratitude
I feel.

C oming from a Catholic background, my
H eart was not always open to
I nfluences from the East…

C hild of the universe, mirroring joy,
H astened to dispel my fears
I nspiring confidence, centering, focus…
H elping me to attain balance and peace,
I bless and thank you.
