O Blessed Friend

O STATELY BEAUTY ERE YOUR GRANDEUR FLORA FLOW,
SO BLEST OUR EYE.
BE SOWN THE ESSENCE SEEDS OF THIS OUR LIFES REBIRTH,
SOFTLY HOLD OUR HEARTS.
BENDED TENDERED ARMS, WHISPERED TONES REVEALED,
SPOKEN TO OUR EAR.
WITH MIGHT IN STORM INDUCE YOUR RAGE TRANSCENDS,
THE FLIGHT OUR HUMAN FRAILITY.
TREMBLED COVERED BOUGHS HELD IN SPIRED GREENERY,
POWERLESS BE OUR FEARS.
NUTURING LEAVES ABOUND AMIDST A TROUBLED WORLD,
EMBODIED IN OUR ARMS.
HOMES KIND FOR CREATURES SERENE, TRANQUIL REALMS,
A WARM PLACE FOR OUR DREAMS.
O LEST WE TAKE FOR GRANTED SO NOBLE, MIGHTY FRIEND,
INSTILL IN US OUR PRIDE.
MAINTAIN A PLACE, LAY DOWN YOUR SEESDS APLENTY,
GIVE YET TO US OUR BREATH.
HELP THUS A WORLD OF WOE IN WHICH WE’VE FALTERED,
AND CLEAN OUR SOUL.
STAND ERECT TO FIGHT THE DEEDS OF HUMBLE SERVANTS,
SEEP O ESSENCE FINE AND HOLD FOR US,
OLD FRIEND WITH BARK AND RINGS OF LIFE SURROUND,
GIVE US OUR JOY.
YOUR MAJESTIC LOFT SPREAD YOUR ETERNAL ARMS,
WE SPEAK WITH OUR LOVE.
BE PATIENCE WITH US, TEND FOR US OUR ATMOSPHERE,
O THUS OUR BLESSED FRIEND.
