Imagine what the world would be
if you honored each child born as you honor me
A gift from the force of life, the creator, to the world
a greater treasure by far than thrones impearled
The essence of hallowed life to grace the earth
released with each miraculous birth
The humblest child a wondrous sight
May your heart embrace all children as sacred this blessed night

We Are (by Dr. Ysaye M. Barnwell)
For each child that’s born a morning star rises
and sings to the universe who we are
We are our grandmother’s prayer
We are our grandfather’s dreamings
We are the breath of the ancestors
We are the spirit of God.
We are
Mothers of courage
Fathers of time
Daughters of dust
Sons of great vision
We are …
Sisters of Mercy
Brothers of Love
Lovers of Life and
The Builders of Nations
We are Seekers of Truth
Keepers of Faith
Makers of Peace and
The Wisdom of Ages
We are our grandmother’s prayer
We are our grandfather’s dreamings
We are the breath of the ancestors
We are the spirit of God
We are ONE.
