To My Little Son; Text: Julia Johnson Davis; music, Florence Price
In your face I sometimes see
Shadowings of the man to be
And eager dream of what my son shall be
Dream of what my son will be in twenty years and one
When you are to manhood grown
And all your manhood ways are known, then
Shall I wistful try to trace
The child you once were
In your face

PRAYER OF DEDICATION — repeated as in wedding vow

O God, forgive us when we answer your grace upon grace
with grumble after grumble
about cutbacks, shortfalls and limited resources.
Forgive us when we answer your grace upon grace
with grim predictions and grudging giving.
Forgive  us when we grip reality so tightly,
we cannot loosen up to receive your surprises and possibilities,
for we pray with our open hands and hearts.
Amen.
