My Dearest Child of Beauty Bold,

-

Lead always with the love you hold.

Live radiant; shine bright and clear,

For joy is always near:

-

Run lightly through each summer rain,

A gift to grow the earth so green;

Your roots, your skin, will soak it in,

And grow your face a grin.

-

Be silent in the forest wild,

To breathe the wonder of a child;

And hear the sanctuary deep

Wake echoes from their sleep.

-

And sing the music of each storm,

With thunder in your voice so warm;

Sing clear the strong eternal song

And know that you belong.

-

Shine brightly as the greatest star,

Amongst the millions, near and far;

Each season, run with moon and sun,

And see that All are One.

-

My dearest child, of smiles and laughs,

Hold onto them while time soars past;

See beauty in the world around,

And spread the joy you've found.

-

With Love Forever And Always,

Your Future Self
