Short Hymn For My Daughter
SHORT HYMN FOR MY DAUGHTER
Bursting with young energy on her adventure,
Wearing a sense of humor for her coat,
She sings with an optimistic grace note.
From the end of her bridge let her venture
To the middle and meet her young man,
As he crosses to meet her gladly.
O may they never sing together sadly;
Let them love one another across the span.
May she be excused all suffering or pain.
Make straight her way; let her succeed;
Allow her to ascend the hills easily; indeed
Let her be free to sing her own refrain.
