O beauty, the warmth like the sun.
Standing on the warm sand
Of love.
Thanks be I say to you.
Looking up to the sky
A song of thanks.
Protector of the deep, dark
Blanket of evil.
Thanks be I say to you.
Singing a soft lullaby near
My sleeping body.
Giving strength, the courage needed.
Out stretching hand you embrace.
Thanks be I say to you.
Black tongued and ill, you
Cleanse with forgiveness.
Forgiver of lies, peacemaker of
Violence.
Thanks be I say to you.
Father and mother,
Stars of the sky, flow’r
Of the garden.
Song of the bird.
Thanks be I say to you,
Being father and mother.
