Prayers for Mothers and Children
Spoken by the Mother for the Child
May light flow into thee, that can take hold of thee.
I follow its rays with the warmth of my love,
I think with the best glad thoughts of my thinking on the leaping of thy heart.
They are to strengthen thee, they are to bear thee up, they are to keep thee pure.
I would fain gather my glad thoughts into thy steps on the paths of life,
So they link themselves to thine own will of life
That this may find itself in strength in all the world ever more through its own self.
