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.
