Rosemary's Blessing: 

Let us pray to our God      

To the God of Mary and Joseph,

To the God of Abraham and Sarah.

May our spirit fill the world with beauty and wonder.

May our mind seek truth with humility and openness.

May our hearts forgive without limit.

May our love for friend, enemy and outcast be without measure.

May our needs be few and my living simple.

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow 

    Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place: and in the sky

    The larks still bravely singing fly

    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

     

    We are the dead: Short days ago,

    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved: and now we lie

    In Flanders fields!

     

    Take up our quarrel with the foe!

    To you from falling hands we throw

    The torch, Be yours to bear it high!

    If ye break faith with us who die

    We shall not sleep tho’ poppies blow

    In Flanders Field.

    Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium
