Brian Strand Poet Shape

Crosswise- My Lord

Your word         your life         your love
So true             so pure          so free
Draws near       fills up            attracts
My soul             my being        my heart

My soul             my being        my heart
To walk             to learn          to love
Your way           your truths     your name
Today               to say             to pray





A  17th century variation on the shape form
