Wishing well
We start the day by wishing well
The friends and family that we love
Far and near, alive and dead,
We raise them up to God above.
And then we turn to those
Less easy to admire,
Putin, Johnson, Donald Trump
And wish them well as Christ did preach.
Love the sinner, hate the sin,
Kevin said to us, sharing
A wealth of wisdom
A key to lasting peace.
Wishing Putin well makes sense
If we believe we can change the course
Of the war in Eastern Europe
And save the very world.
A nuclear war is now just possible
Who knows the mind of the man
Bereft of counsel that would urge
A return to sanity and compromise.
Wishing well contains a power
Independent of the gods or men
The resonance of butterfly wings
Imperceptible but cumulative.
Wishing well may make the difference
Between hellish war and ceasefire
We never the know which angels wings
Span the globe, give peace a chance.
