~ (~) ~ Oh Love ~ (~) ~ Thoughts of a Child ~ (~) ~ the Blessing ~ (~) ~

~ ~~ ~~~ ~~~~ ~~~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Oh-to love-as willingly- boldly, if-but shyly; solely... . Taken-time-tender- tarrying truly-waisted I feel-never-it is... in the venture... now. Yes willful-ambicious open... yes time-presses on, the riddle-love, seemingly; embracing- discerning- never discouraging- always, encouraging; yes... ! Joy its song-lofty delighting-reciting, quietly offering this; yes-this-hope... ! Beholden-grace; rejoicing-securing, protecting, offering- to-all-the chance. Peace, the movement--influencing, what in the offering it boasts, ambling along... its tears-falling accepting/reflecting- yes filling the rivers, feeding the lands. Virtuous the blessing... I thank God yes, for the blessing... . New-born-anew-each, such are the reflections of a child; humbling-gentle; free... always-longing; reaching... . Oh love-aware, able... eager-open. Divine, welcome I do, the opportunity. Sometimes; albeit-harder, though-often; dicouraging... like love; I; keep-reaching... ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPz3YaIJkjQ
