A Prayer For My Youngest Son

A PRAYER FOR MY YOUNGEST SON TELL the strong Holy Ghost, "Stand byside myself at my head" That my Isaac may be comforted into a beautifully sound sleep, nor fear, nor turn in the bed. That morning comes and the sun is decidedly brilliant as a best friend; and departing darkness between night and light are as the same friend! That i bid the Ghost have its sword in hand for malicious elements, this day so many -- that few have never realized! The many joys and aspirations realized! The pain, too. That humans are fallible makes life beautiful. That you are beautifully human is what nature enjoys! You! Without haughty deed and though awaits upon his wondrous days, i watch the stars start to sing -- the cosmos' symphony! :: 09-10-2016 ::

Thank you so kindly, Arthur. My son started a new job today and last evening I wrote and gave him this prayer. Thank you again, I am happy you enjoyed!
