Home Blessings

This house we have built with my new love together

Blessing we seek for our families to live in forever

 

For meer bricks and mortar carry no history 

But the land it is built on has seen many a story

 

And what of the cemetery that lay by the way

What ogre may come to make you it’s prey

 

For the home should be free of all past infestations

And a new way shown to bring in happy relations

 

The Brahmin Father will show us the way

And a path he has made to chase evil away

 

And when clear the Father has made the path free

Then good spirits may enter love and warmth all can see

 

Now you can enter but first nine monks in all

They will chant and pray with us to protect these four walls

 

For three days thereafter we continue to observe

The rites of the faithful must be kept undisturbed

 

With friends from the village and all family as well

This new home starts to feel like a safe place to dwell

 

The first night we slept and all was warm safe and well

Thank the Buddha that we received Home Blessings where we dwell
