A Psalm

                                                                 A Psalm 

Father of Lights, Creator of All that Delights

Thou hast whispered to my heart that I am Thy child.  

There exists a veil between me and the childhood I spent at Thy side
But I can still hear the lullabies of the spirit, soothing me once again, as long ago.

Thou dost nurture me still through beauty, words, and music. 
Thou hast placed guiding stars of friends and mentors along my path. 

I thank Thee for summer days, the scent of rain, and golden sunsets. 
I thank Thee for my family and the promise of eternity together.  

I love Thee for seeing me so clearly, and knowing my heart so completely.  
And I love Thee for the gentle ways Thou teachest me to know Thy heart as well.

I know Thou hast rejoiced in my victories and smiled at my heart’s delights. 
And even as Thou hast consecrated them for my good, wept at my sorrows.

Thou art my North Star throughout change.  
And the champion of my best self. 

I thank Thee the most for the gift of Thy Son. 
For “The Way, the Truth and the Life.” 

I am grateful that through Him, came the gift of repentance.  
For it is the very way I grow and thrive and flourish. 

And I strive to know Thee better, I take a look deep inside. 
I look for traces of spiritual DNA and see how I may one day be like Thee. 

For I know that I am Thy child, and all the best in me flows from Thee. 
And there are lights and delights I will discover in myself, for eons of time to come.
