For the one who is cheated on by a long-time love
And flees to the country to write away his pain,
We pray to you, O God.
For the one who feels betrayed by a spouse
Wondering if the affair is flirtations, intimacy or love,
We pray to you, O God.
For the one who loses the chance for love
Because taking care of family is a top priority,
We pray to you, O God.
For the one who can’t show his affections
And for the one who he pines for,
We pray to you, O God.
For the one who longs for his best friend’s girl
And yet wants to move forward with his life,
As he laments “Enough… Enough…”
We pray to you, O God.
For the one who remembers his spouse
So soon after he lost her,
And as he takes care of her child,
We pray to you, O God.
For the one who finds contentment
In the time spent with his greatest love:
His best friend,
We give thanks to you, O God.
For the sparkly new relationship
After meeting in a hallway
Or in front of a cottage
Or rushing to say goodbye in an airport
Or working together closely
Or flying to a new country,
We give thanks to you, O God.
For the first wave
The first smile
The first embrace
At the airport arrivals gate,
We give thanks to you, O God.
