A Prayer to Innocence

 

 

*

just as

the Morning

gives up Her Promise

to the Day,  go forth,  become, 

and be One with God’s bless’d Intent,

be swift,  be sure,  be smart,  be strong,  yes

be the Purpose for which all your Courage is lent,

from your eyes,  your heart,  your soul’s reason why, 

pours your Grace,  as from Heaven,  sent,

and in the absence of fear,  join

with All Things Dear, 

and take

hold of what your

     dreams,  have Always meant . . .

.

.

.

      and to an Angel,  named Havana,  who ’caused’  these words into being . . .
