Personally I'd rather you pray for a certain family that play on here, Radiant. If they see that 'poem', its going to cause great distress considering events of just a year ago.
I won't go into details, but I'm sure you understand, Radiant.
Damn me, I've just read it and I feel very, very angry.

Argomento: Calon Lân (A Pure Heart)

This is a Welsh hymn but is poetry to me.

Nid wy'n gofyn bywyd moethus,
Aur byd na'i berlau mân.
Gofyn rwyf am galon hapus,
Calon onest, calon lân.

Calon lân yn llawn daioni,
Tecach yw na'r lili dlos,
'Does ond calon lân all ganu,
Canu'r dydd a chanu'r nos.

Pe dymunwn olud bydol,
Chwim adenydd iddo sydd:
Golud calon lân rinweddol
Yn dwyn bythol eiw fydd.

Hwyr a bore fy nymuniad,
Esgyn ar adenydd cân.
Ar i Dduw, er mwyn fy Ngheidwad,
Roddi imi galon lân.

(I seek not a life of riches,
Earthly gold or finest pearls,
All I seek is a heart that is happy,
A heart that is honest, a heart that is pure.

A heart that ts pure and full of goodness,
Fairer than the beautiful lily,
Only a heart that is pure can sing,
Sing by day and sing by night.

Were I to treasure earthly riches,
They are swift and fleet or wing:
A heart pure and virtuous,
Riches and eternal gain will bring.

Night and morning does my longing
Rise aloft on wings of song,
That God, for the sake of my Saviour,
Grant me a heart that is pure.)

Daniel James 1847-1920

If I may, I'd like to dedicate this to Granny this Sunday.
Call it an early birthday present!
