Christ child, accept the gratitude from a little drummer girl whose heart shall keep beating as an offering of praise.

Christ child, may the gentleness of Your person, the intelligence and kindness be the only standard she aspires to, till the end of her days.

Calmer of storms and prince of Peace

Comforter of the mind still seeking release

Christ child, who would have thought that a man so meek would turn out to be the King of kings?

Christ child, remind the little drummer girl how to be born again, to free the inner child, to feel unstoppable, to dare to believe that tomorrow holds better things.
