As we walk the corridors of power
have we paused to hold the door open for others
or have we gaily marched on
too seduced by our own lofty success
to consider the plight of those
who have journeyed with us?
As we take our well earned place at the table
are we careful to make room for others
recognising that their presence
enhances, not threatens
complements not competes
or are we too tired of fighting
to want to make it easier
for those who come after?
God give us grace
to do what we can
to ease the journey
for all who follow
in our wake.
