Like a child’s wet footprint
on sidewalk fades in the sun,
life, at some point, will end.
May this understanding
guide our living so that
we cherish well the people and creatures
with whom we share this
wondrous
glorious
precious
beautiful
life you give us
and love each other
and all your creation well.
In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
