With Grace She Binds ~ Bethany
May a star be-speckled sky
be the road that lights your way,
as a comet’s tail protects you
and surrounds you everyday
may the moons of ages past
cast a brilliance on your life
may motherearth hold the secrets
as your footsteps land on strife
I watched as you breached the void
between the veils I’ve yet to lift,
I first held your hand in friendship
and my heart was thrown adrift
So, in love with your first breath
that I had nothing left to fear,
see the one thing I always protect
is something I now hold dear
you’re the strength that god sent down
to help me on my way,
my little smiling devil
and to thank the heavens I do pray
now my child of grace and love
shadows the face of the world
she is the reason I’m leaving
my paper-heart and love unfurled
this prayer and spirit is binding
to hold you on your way,
I love you my darling daughter
and will, forever and a day
for my Gorgeous Daughter on her birthday 09.07.2010
