Warmth
Am I the source?
You take care of me, Lord, will you also take care of my neighbors? My loved ones? The noon sun shines on us all equally, yet sometimes, it feels, indifferently.
Visit me even in my doubt, Lord. In the early dawn, still dark, the glow in the mountains promises dawn. Let it come, as it always does, and let noon arrive with loving kindness.

Oh? It is I who brings the warmth? Let me comfort my neighbors and loved ones, while you strengthen me. As you visit me, grant me enough to share.

Consider:
Can I gather the strength to support my fellows?
