Thomas John Carlisle

Help us to harness

the wind,
the water,
the sun,
and all the ready
and renewable sources of power.

Teach us to conserve,

preserve,
use wisely
the blessed treasures
of our wealth-stored earth.

Help us to share

your bounty,
not to waste it,
or pervert it
into peril
for our children
or our neighbours
in other nations

You who are life

and energy
and blessing,
teach us to revere
and respect
your tender world.

Amen
