Your Will Is Done!

Your will is done, O Aphrodite

With every gentle kiss and loving caress

With every moment of passion

And every thrust in lust’s sweet embrace

Your will is done, O Aphrodite

With every child born and welcomed into the world

With every tear of concern and joy

And the emotional wreckage of parenthood

Your will is done, O Aphrodite

With every pain of loss and mourning

With every memory held dear in the hearts of the living

And every moment spent together to create them

Your will is done, O Aphrodite

In the love of reading, of learning, of teaching

In the love of adventure and discovery

And in the love of lovers as they look upon each other

Your will is done, O Aphrodite

With the buds of Springtime awaiting to blossom

With the beauty of a flower in full bloom

And the mysteries of the sea waiting to be admired

Your will is done, O Aphrodite

In the hearts of worshipers seeking peace

In the minds of puppies seeking love

And in love in all its many forms

Your will is done!

Art: Pierre-Jacques Bethon (d. 1773)
