____________Oh! God who art throughout, - Our Father who art in heaven,
______________hallowed be thy presence. - hallowed be thy name.
______________________Thy kingdom come, - Thy kingdom come.
___________order, though chaos be done, - Thy will be done
____________as it is in all directions. - on earth as it is in heaven.
______Give us this day, to make better, - Give us this day our daily bread,
___and teach us the next shall suffice, - and forgive us our trespasses,
_________if we aren’t to succeed today, - as we forgive those who trespass against us,
teach us through each dawn better ways, - and lead us not into temptation,
___that we forgive and in turn develop; - but deliver us from evil.
_____________for all is all, all is one - For thine is the kingdom,
_________________________and one is all - and the power, and the glory,
__________________for ever, till never. - for ever and ever.
____________________________Be willing. - Amen.

Oh, how beautiful and uplifting.
The kind of poem one would type out and laminate and carry in your bag.
For sure.
Thanks for sharing, M :-)
Pen on, poet!

I'm not sure if your intention was to mock or embrace Christianity with this re-working of the Lord's Prayer, but I found it an interesting read never the less. Thank you for the read.

We all have our own path to build... more what I was getting at with this; I am not religious, I just kinda made it my Lords prayer.
