My Lord and Redeemer, I praise you today
For manifold blessings bestowed by thy grace.
My son is so special; he’s one of a kind:
A better young man one would struggle to find.
A pilot of aircraft and self-taught musician
Who’s busy preparing his sacred commission.
And so for my son, I entreat thee today
To find him a wife who will walk in this way:
An adventurous spirit and kind-hearted soul,
Committed to making another flesh whole;
Blessing her husband with happy young children
And raising them up with a love of God’s wisdom;
Keeping of healthy traditional foods
And making good meals that strong bodies can use;
Hiking the mountains, camping by streams,
And grilling the trout on the fire with ease;
Loving God’s word with a passion to teach
By composing of poems and songs that we sing.
I know it’s alot to request for my son,
But no other is fit for the race to be run.
So I thank thee, my Father, for works thou hast done;
And I thank thee for doing this work now begun.
IN THE WORD
Natagan
