In the sweet light blossom of first love,
God of new beginnings, be near us.
Let us discover wonder and beauty
in the smile of another.
Let us feel ourselves embraced
in arms and open minds.
Let us be giddy with happiness
at the world’s freshness.
In the wide swoop of love’s new dance
you are the ground beneath our feet
the air we breathe together
the blessing of this high blue sky.
In the sweet dark blossom of first love,
God of new beginnings, be near us.
Let us discover the troubled thoughts and fears
that sometimes hide behind smiles.
Let us learn the power of embracing
and the ability to control that power.
Let us be awed by the vast effort
of actually and truly meeting another.
In the wide scope of love’s new adventure
you are the path we take
the map we read together
the blessing of two longing to be one.
