Blessed Indeed

Graceful, and elegant

Powerful, yet serene

Sarah, Deborah, Ruth, and Esther in one

Bless my mother, Lord

This dear one who loves me

Kiss her when she kneels to pray

Grant her the requests she forgot to ask

Bless her with the oil of Joy

Fill her with Life

Surround her with handmaidens

Bring her many strong adopted sons

Fill her days with the strength and peace

Send her fragrance laden breezes to sleep to

Wake her with the music of children's voices

Bring her the ones you've prepared for her

Fill her eyes with Beauty

Fill her heart with Love

Fill her lips with laughter

Fill her belly with Living Water

Build the things you've dreamed of through her

Bless your earth through this, your special child

Heal her, Lord, restore her, Lord

Touch your needy children

Through this your crafted vessel

Glorify yourself in this, your daughter

Reward her for her faithfulness

Bless her, Lord, bless her indeed
