Oratio: Dear Child

Dear child
you are my beloved
in whom I am well pleased
my love for you
has neither beginning nor end
neither limits nor conditions
nothing you do or say
can make me love you more
or less
since before you were born
until long after this moment has passed
I love you
take this knowledge with you
hold it close to your heart
you are worthy
you are seen
you are heard
you are loved
always and in all ways
Abba
Father
