A Blessing




The Mother's heart, the hero's will,


The softest flowers' sweetest feel;


The charm and force that ever sway


The altar-fire's flaming play;


The strength that leads, in love obeys;


Far-reaching dreams, and patient ways,


Eternal faith in Self, in all,


The light Divine in great, in small;


All these and more than I could see,


Today may "Mother" grant to thee!



- Swami Vivekananda
