A Librarian’s Prayer
Let this place be a haven
for all those seeking
spiritual uplift and peace.

Let this place be an oasis
for all those hungering
and thirsting after Truth.

Let my thought be so full of love
for God and all mankind
that it reaches through
glass and wood and screen

To embrace all who pass;
To embrace with love all those
Who feel the need of drawing closer to God,
And especially
those
who
don’t.
