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 . . .
.
