Would I Trade the Words
Would I trade the words…
would I trade for a song
Would I trade the words…
for a life ever long
Would I trade the words…
for a pulpit on high
Would I trade the words…
for the moon and the sky
Would I trade the words…
for immortality insured
Would I trade the words…
for your love still unheard
Would I trade the words…
for all fortune and fame
Would I trade the words,
—would my soul then remain
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2016)
