A blessing for Jackson
Light upon you
Light before you
Wisdom holds you
Firmly, open
Breathes the life
Of those before you
Gentle men of whom
You’re one.
Truth. Courage.
Faith. Compassion.
Weave the fabric
Of your soul
Threads of sorrow
Will pass through it,
Yarns of Laughter,
Lift it up
Stories told
At Grandma’s table
Where we sit
This quiet night
While I hold you
Gently open
Welcome, Jackson
To the light.
Written in memory of Kevin and in celebration of Zak and Scarlet
