The Redwood 1985
You are tall and strong
my love
Like the ancient redwoods
among the trees of the forest
Living tender and green
filled with the sap of life
Your shadow wherein I stand
does protect from the heat of life
Let me dwell under your branches
my love
draw from your vigor
take my nourishment from your
covering boughs
let me lie beneath your
towering arms
Allow please me to draw
from the power of your stability
among the trees of the forest
my love
Protect me from the showers
the rain , snow , and droughts
of life
Let me look upon you with respect
and admiration
You are outstanding
among the trees of the forest
my love
Pondering a womans needs from a man
Ps 1:3 & 104:16 Song of Solomon 2:3 & 7:7-8
