may his face shine upon you

Submitted by Jennifer Dixey on March 7, 2012

faces mean everything to us
the faces of our parents
turned toward us

or away from us
the faces of our children
wet with tears, laughing
or frightened, turning
to offer a cheek to be kissed

when a prayer goes up
it is like that offering:
an open-hearted hope
for benediction

which is that sun
shining on our faces
that reminder
that we matter
that we live
