Mine Heart In Thine Hand
Fair is this pristine earth upon which thou stands
With thy face t'ward the sun and mine heart held in thy hand
On many a day, I am a quiet river flowing
And I drink in thy laughter and windswept song
How the twinkles within thine eyes set ablaze mine soul
Thou art the sustenance which is required for life’s arduous toll
As thou breathest in air, I pray thee, inhale all of me
And place mine heart within thine for safekeeping with thee
