YOUR FACE
May your face, shine before the Lord
And be protected from lies
From allure, may it shine pure as a star
Yet adamant
Repelling evil and the glint of the gorgeous
And deceiving
May it be a mirroring pond
\Where the trees reflect themselves transparently
In newly sprung green
Where the blue skies rehearse
Their lack of clouds, and roselike grace
May it be a hindrance to the foes
of guilelessness, of high regard
An emblem, of the soul
Of the courage of lions.
