1988-0100 Poem ‘Prayer for the New Year’s Day’ by Nick Delonas, Boston from 1988-0100 and 0200 The Divine Cool Breeze, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 13

In this year we pray anew
That all Your children come to You
May old and young learn to Be
One with Goddess Mataji
May each morning's light be shed
on Flowered altars freshly spread

America! Awaken now!
Unfetter your welded brow!

0h sweet Krishna, Lord Divine
In my Mother I've seen You shine
May I pray to You in Her
Lord and Mother, our hearts stir

For the yogis who feel Your Mind:
Let our closeness further bind
Grant us Oneness of desires
and the Innocence that requires

Give us strength to speak Your word
Let us guide all those who've heard
Help us better ourselves for Thee
Help us clear that we may Be

For this lard of wealth and night:
Grant lost children divine sight
Let not Satan pull down another
Keep safe each sister and misguided brother

We praise Thee Lord again and again
Thou that patiently blows chaff from grain
May thy nighty discus fly
and Thy wondrous form fill the sky!

May this year bring to all
Wisdom and patience tall
Fill every farm, town and city
With mercy, mildness and rightful pity

And thus may every breast beat sing
Of divinity's covering wing
That all my know and ignorance cease --
And Your precious lard bloom Truth and Peace
