Little
Baby Patriot
Sweet little
patriot babe,
dreaming
infant
dreams,
I
hope you
wake to
velvet nights
gilded with
the
moon's
luminous
beams.
Let
your days
be
filled with
wondrous gifts
from across
the
universe;
may
every
journey
you
undertake
offer joyous
paths to
traverse.
May war
never
wound
your soul
or
adversity
furrow
your
brow;
if only
life
would
allow you
to
remain
as
innocent
as
you are
now.
I wish you
golden puppies,
and
unicorns
with silver
wings,
lovely
sapphire
bluebirds
to
follow you
about and
sing,
brilliant ruby
sunrises to
warm
on
your
way,
kaleidoscopes
of
rainbows
to
mark the
end
of
day.
With
Father’s
strength
to
cherish you,
and
Mother’s
love
nourish you
beneath
God’s
quickening
sun,
you be
a boon
to all
mankind
throughout
a
long life’s
run.
May
gentle
seraphim
sing you
home when
your work
here on
earth
is
done.
