PRAYER OF A SHRINE CLOWN
 
Wonderful Lord,
You 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 along this path 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 relief, as THEY pray for distraction
Let me be Your instrument to meet their needs
Red nose and all
