Praying for My Own Blueberry Girl

...Dull days at forty, false friends at fifteen;
Let her have brave days and
truth.
Let her go places that we've never been;
Trust and delight in her
youth.

Ladies of Grace, and Ladies of Favour,
And Ladies of Merciful
Night,
This is a prayer for a Blueberry Girl,
Grant her your Clearness
of Sight.

Words can be worrisome, people complex;
Motives and
manners unclear.
Grant her the wisdom to choose her path right,
Free
from unkindness and fear.

Let her tell stories, and dance in the rain,
Somersaults, tumble and run;
Her joys must be high as her sorrows are
deep,
Let her grow like a weed in the sun...
