Our children who live on earth,

Holy are each and every one of you.

May good dreams come,

Your way be found,

And heaven and earth rejoice with you.

 

May you be given

All you need for life

And may you accept our mistakes

As you allow yourself

To make mistakes and grow.

 

Lead us with imagination

And true integrity,

For yours are the minds, the hearts, and the souls

To heal the world

Now and forever.
