Here is Charlie’s Gospel poem and prayer:</p> <pre><code>On the road from where<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;We’ve been to where we're going -<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;A new beginning.<br> How comfortable are we with that?</code></pre> <pre><code><br> &nbsp;God of that time, and this time, and all time -<br> &nbsp;Guide us as we live these days.<br> &nbsp;Help us let go of things that would hold us back – <br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;nets and possessions<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;directions or destinations,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;resumes, references, reports,<br> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;preconceived notions of who deserves or belongs,<br> Help us hold on to your hand (and Word)<br> as we walk toward and through<br> the Time of your Peace. &nbsp;(That’s what I like to call “The Kingdom of Heaven”!)<br> </code></pre>
