May You Be Stilled
May you be stilled by unexpected wonder Your very breath momentarily stolen, Startled by the presence of beauty .
May you be stilled by the tenderness of touch The steadying arm of love, Held in the moment of stumble.
May you be stilled by generous words of truth Restored by the cadence of care and kindness, Delighted in your own being.
May you be stilled by a father’s welcome Humbled by his joyful embrace Safe in the belonging of home.
