A Prayer for Shelter
In the quiet of the night, beneath the starry dome,
We lift our hearts in prayer for those without a home.
May hope be their companion, and courage light their way,
As they journey through the shadows, seeking brighter days.
May kindness be their blanket, and love their guiding star,
May they find the strength within, no matter where they are.
For every soul deserves a place where they can rest,
A haven filled with warmth, where they can feel their best.
We pray for open hearts and hands to help them through,
For shelter from the storm, and skies of endless blue.
May they find the peace they seek, and dreams that come alive,
In a world where every person has the chance to thrive.
