"Blessing of a New Baby "
“May your face be radiant like the rising sun.
May your smile brighten the cloudy sky.
May your cries always find a gentle response.
May your first steps fall on firm ground.
May your first sounds speak peace like the morning dew.
May your first teeth be as white as Kilimanjaro’s peak
May your ears be open to the bidding of your mother and father.
May your hands perform good works for your family and clan.
May your head bow low in respect before your elders.
Amen! ”
