Let me find the river of forgetfulness,
give me a small patch of idleness,
and someone to love, pure air, serene
unexploited oceans. Send me angels
with hope, time filled with mystery, the
means of understanding. Let me
appreciate tearful prayers, lift the winter
and bring the spring light. Let me not
fear the powerful ghosts in the nightfall;
let the extended hands of God shroud my
aching soul. Let me gather beauty, have a
prideful heart, be a defender of those with
heavy hearts; lighten madness to match that
of a butterfly wing. Let me mirror happiness,
be unafraid of nightmares and unknown
things. Echo my thoughts to the Heavens, let
me be an earthly beacon of dignity; help me
walk purposefully from age to age before dying
on the glittering sands of eternity.
