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.
