A Prayer: Vers Beaucoup

I pray that petals lay your way,
and rays dazzle in shades of hazel,
angel of happiness to bless,
refresh your life with no strife.

The dream you have shines with gleam and its stream,
without any seams, flows, grows,
glows with northern lights just right,
and bright, to higher successful peaks you rise and rise.

May this prayer through the air, over valley’s layer,
to you adhere, reside and hide,
in you confide, make you strong, to travel along,
this long road with love of god.

The Vers Beaucoup, rhyming word scheme of:
a-a-a-
a-b-b-
b-c-c-
c-d-d
Each rhyme can only use a maximum of three words.

How we do look on children and pray their lives are beautiful for them. We can take them so far then hope what they have learned from us will help them through. A touching prayer.

I love how this prayer moves easily over the rhyming scheme...very heartfelt.

A beautiful blessing for someone perhaps not quite aware of this voice praying for her/him. I feel something in my life, and suspect it's the good wished and prayer of a few.

Can i say Amen?
The rhyming pattern make this an effective prayer. And sounds like a religious chant when read loudly.
