May this day’s dawning

find you warm and safe.

May you have all of wisdom and grace

that you need to face whatever this day may bring.

And when this day is done,

may you lie down safe and warm,

and may the thanks you give

be sincere, simple and genuine.

May you be better for having lived this day,

and may this day be better

for having had you in it.
