AN EVENING BLESSING




Since I'm in a somewhat melancholy mood, I thought I'd share a poem with you. Its about friendship and as you obviously can gather, my friends mean the world to me.
AN EVENING BLESSING
As shadow settles the evening light
A blessing I pray, for you this night…

“Peace be with you; may sleep be a sigh
And angel near you; a watchful eye

For tomorrow as the sun will rise
Your spirit shall rise and paint your skies

With beautiful colours of truth and love
Paints specially provided by God above.

A new day, a new leaf
A kindred spirit, however brief,

To touch your heart with love this day
Temper your path and light your way.

Rest well, dear soul, your day is done!
Forget the world; your race is won

Take care, my friend and sleep thee well
As I sleep my sleep in fond farewell.”
Caryl Moll 2005
