Like an infant’s open-eyed wonder
And the insights of a wise grandmother
Like a young man’s vision for justice
And the vitality that shines in a girl’s face,
Like tears that flow in a friend bereaved
And laughter in a lover’s eyes,
You have given me ways of seeing, O God,
You have endowed me with sight like your own.
Let these be alive in me this day,
Let these be alive in me this day.
