(a song used in baby naming rituals)
"How shall I bless her, how shall this daughter be blessed,"
asked the angel.
With a smile full of light,
Wide eyed to see,
Each flower and bird and creature that lives,
And a heart that can feel for all that she sees.
"How shall I bless her, how shall she be blessed,"
asked the angel
With feet that can dance on and on without end,
And a soul to remember all the melodies she hears,
With hands to collect pretty shells by the sea,
And an ear that's attuned to all things great and small.
"How shall I bless her, how shall she be blessed,"
asked the angel
We have blessed her with all in our power to give;
Songs and smiles and feet that can dance,
A gentle hand
A heart that beats true
And a soul that is filled with unbounding love.
