A Window Cleaner’s Prayer

        Oh, God, when I have food,

help me to remember the hungry;

       when I have windows to clean, help me

to remember the jobless;

       when I have a warm home,

help me to remember the homeless;

       when I am with out pain,

help me to remember those that suffer;

       and remembering, help me

       to destroy my complacency

       and bestir my compassion.

Make me concerned enough

       to help, by word and deed,

       those who cry out

for what I take for granted.
