Trinity
dedicated to all sempermoms who
wait each month for new life, and find
they are not with child.

The breath I draw
that forms this prayer
Be Yours tonight
Little else in me
so free to leave.
From deep within,
replace in me
the Breath of Life.
May others know You by
Your breath in me.
Glory be
To the Gentle Breeze
that carries us through time,
never to leave
our side...

The tears that flow
to cleanse my prayer
Be Yours tonight
Little else in me,
so pure or worthy.
Replace in me
the flowing waters from Your side.
May others know You by
the thirst in me.
Glory be done
to the Son
who carries the Cross through time
Never to leave,
our side....

The life I share
will be the prayer
I offer You tonight.
Little else to give,
but flesh and blood.
Replace my sin with the Life
Of Your Only Son
May others know You by
the Mercy You've given me.
Glory be offered
to the Father
who carried the Son through time
Never to leave
our side.
Three ways in One Love, to guide.
