I bless your days to awake with God's breath. And devotion to forge a path ahead. I bless your face with a window on heaven. And a hand reaching out to embrace. I bless the companions around you to share your sorrows with your joys. To see the light hidden within you. And remind you of what is etched on your soul. I bless you to remember what it is to learn. With the determination of a child at play. With the imagination of a child in the trees, Picking fruit till the juice drips down. I bless you to risk some hearty courage and take up a project long shelved. To clear the clutter and the cobwebs. With both hands courageously upheld. I bless your spirit to receive the great promise. That love will pursue you beyond the grave. That there is a destiny for you on this day. Right here. At this time. For this season. To be who only you can be. To do what only you can do. I bless you to live with endless belonging under the benediction of evening's first star. At rest with your place in the world. Wearing your skin with brave honour. I bless your nights to be softened. By the wings of many angels. Circling.
