A Mermaid Child

A precious child
Born to a king
Loved and cherished
The most blessed gift
To hear her sing

Her soul spoke to you
The angels could be heard
This gem within her
Manifested itself
In the Glory of His Word

But the world ensnared her
Trapped her with its sights
For envy and attachment
She gave up her soul
For worldly and material delights

She gained happiness for a moment
But the veils of ego’s view
Blinded her to the truth
And she forgot the beauty
Of the Light she had been born to
