Prayer For All The Little Ones

Susan Mayer Brumel 1955 (Newark, NJ)

Prayer For All The Little Ones

May there be light
upon your face
May there be peace
within your heart
May there always
be a tended place
from where
your dreams embark
May your love grow,
sweet and boundless,
like honeysuckle flowers
And may you
always realize
your special superpowers

Susan Mayer Brumel

A lover of all animals and most people, I enjoy spending time in nature, long walks, and reading Pablo Neruda, Blake, William Carlos Williams, James Joyce, Mary Oliver, Emily Dickinson, Maya Angelou, Leonard Cohen, and more.
