August The Thirteenth

BLESS me, bless you.
Bless us all for what we do -
To keep the world turning
To keep the home fires burning.
Bless me, bless you,
For all we do.

Love life, love joy
Bless the girl and bless the boy.
Give us treasured thoughts to keep,
Give us lots of restful sleep.
Prepare us for the day tomorrow
Help us bear our hurts and sorrow.

Bless me, bless you
Bless the good we hope to do.
