Lord,
as we prepare
to welcome Van-Dylan
into this world,
I prayfor his safe passage.
As I prepare
for fatherhood,
grant me wisdom
that I may guide him,
grant me stength
that I may provide for him,
grant me peace
that I may shelter him.
Grant him enthusiasm
that he may seek
to live
the wonderment of life
to the fullest.
Grant him dreams
that the quest
to experience your miracles
you manifest
in this world
be his lifelong crusade.
Grant him love
that is your greatest gift
that he may love you
and your all
of your amazing creations,
and that his love
will be always
be a pleasure
for you to behold.
Fill his soul,
with the Holy Spirit,
that his words and actions,
will always be
a glowing testimonyfor you.
Fill his heart,
with blissful joy,
that his life
will touch you
and all of us
privileged to be
around him.
For afterall,
he is your gift
to us.
Amen
