My Angel,
Beholding the face of God,
Guardian by my side,
Attendant friend and guide,
With me from my happy conception,
And faithful companion to my earthly end,
May we,
Who journeyed this pilgrimage
In one another’s presence,
Laugh together in heaven.

God has given us
A special place in His Heart.
He calls us “Friend.”
Do not doubt Him,
By judging yourself or others
Before the time of Judgment.
Wait upon God working in you and me
For our good, blessing,
And finally our perfection.
Strive to be a friend of God.
Be a good steward of His friendship,
And this precious time
Working in His Vineyard.
Opening my eyes on rising:
“O Lord, anoint me
With the oil of gladness.”
Bathing and breakfast
Follow with forgetfulness.
My heartfelt entreaties
Fade from memory,
As day draws me
To familiar action.
You, my Friend,
Do not forget.
Your pleasure
Is my sanctification,
And Your delight,
My consolation.
Singing my soul
Invites me
To join her prayer.
Harmonious melody
Ascends to the throne of God,
Born aloft on angel wings,
Echoing the forever
Praise of seraphim,
And I, bowing head and knee,
Rejoice before the Lord of all.
