Prayer for a Singer

Angels of light and sound,
Gather around.

Send my voice into triumphant song
And bring my audience along.

Let my carols reach into the sky
Where the bluebirds fly.

Might my smile twinkle
Like the brightest star
Seen from afar.

The music I make
And the songs I sing
Are such exalted things.

Dear angels...

Protect my voice and my heart.
Bring me the fruits of my art.

This poem is the song I sing
When you bring
Your grace to me.

And so it is.
