Father, I humbly ask that you bless me, along with my
Brothers and Sisters and all we touch from time to time:
Brothers and Sisters who gave their life in passage;
Brothers and Sister who taught, teach, and will teach, like those before this day;
Brothers and Sisters in man-made chambers of confinement;
The Children coming in Your name, Haile Selassie I, and the many others whose names belong upon these
pages…
As these words are according to Your will Almighty Father, I ask that You bless each of us as we become a
breath in the Book of Life. ~ Malchijah
