Bless this Child

[Lorna]

God bless this child with all the gifts,
that heaven can bestow.
With kind and gentle nurturing,
and strength to thrive and grow...

God bless this child with sunlit days,
and nights of peaceful dreams.
With robin songs and clear blue skies,
and sparkling crystal streams...

God bless this child with health and hope,
and courage, come what may.
With common sense and confidence,
and faith to light the way...

God bless this child with books to read,
and new paths to explore.
With smile to share and friends who care,
and love forever more.
