PRAYER OF A SHRINE CLOWN

Wonderful Lord,
You have blessed me in this calling
When you made me a Shrine clown.
You provided me the means and
Talents to serve you -
Red nose and all.

You have surrounded me with a brotherhood
That supports and cares for me
As we travel this road together -
Big shoes and all.

Please never let my life get so busy
That I don’t make time to fulfill this important role.
Let me always remember that I serve YOU -
Baggy pants and all.

And when the make-up feels like a restrictive dressing
Or the nose a cumbersome prosthetic,
Please help me always remember
As THEY pray for distraction, as THEY pray for relief
Let me be YOUR instrument to meet THEIR needs -
Red nose and all.

PRAYER OF A SHRINE CHILD

Thank you God for the Shrine clown
He makes me laugh when I feel down
He makes magic instead of pain
He makes sunshine out of rain

In my heart I really know
To a real job this man must go
A lawyer, a plumber or an engineer
But he gets no pay for coming here

I wonder if his shoes weigh a lot
Or if, like me burns, they get hot
I wonder why he even cares
To visit me in my rolling chair

I’m not sure what brought him here
Other than to bring me cheer
As he leaves I think I see
A tear in his eye, is that for me?

God let him know I think he’s great
His visits I appreciate
The time he spends next to my bed
Is time when the sad things leave my head.

Thank you God
