Holy Spirit
Fill me with courage
Fill me with joy
Fill me with gratitude
Fill me with mercy
Fill me with grace
Fill me with love
That I might pour them out
On my family
On my co-workers
On my neighbors
On my enemies

It’s Quadrille Monday at dVerse Poets Pub today, my favorite poetry prompt ever. Inspired by a single word, poets are called to write a poem of exactly 44 words. There are no other rules or guidelines. Sometimes a poem idea comes to me instantly upon reading the prompt. Other times I have to meditate on it awhile. Today’s word, offered by De Jackson, is fill. This is one I had to ponder for the afternoon, and I finally came up with this prayer.
