Blessing For a Child

May your feet be always guided 
to find a righteous road.
And may your hands be nimble 
to ease a trying load.
And may your ears discern
stories from sincerity.
And may your eyes be clear and bright 
to ascertain all verity.
And may your mouth and tongue
sing joyous truth exquisitely.
And, finally, may your heart rejoice
in love and hope and family.
