Happy Birthday, Blueberry Nights! (A little bit late.)

Ladies of Light
and
Ladies of Darkness
and 
Ladies 
of 
Never-
You-
Mind-

This is a prayer for a Blueberry Girl.


First, may you Ladies be kind.

Keep 
her 
from 
Spindles 
and 
Sleeps 
at Sixteen

Let her
stay
Waking
and
Wise.


This is a prayer for a Blueberry Girl.
