Gift of Hand

Palm up, take my hand
With thy promise of grand dreams
Entwine these fingers


and if you were
to believe in me,
what might the treasures
be that we uncover…

like Adam and Eve
anew to the sense
of love's first kiss
would we know then
Eden's bliss…

all gifts I would gift to you
for I see pleasure
in your smile, I see
walks of many miles,
I see...
fantasy

in the gifts I
give to thee

Bless me with your
smile, take me in
your embrace,
grant me
the kiss of you,
from your princely face

thus your gift
you give to me

Tender touch of hand
Strength in awesome love's command ~
God, sweet mercy's touch


chide me not for
these my dreams
but carry me forth
on tide of beams
bear me up high
to the clouds
transport me up,
to the land of proud

for you would have
this all of me
this I give
most graciously
cans't thou see
the truth of me
in these,
thy words of
love

Ah my dear,
dear heart,
come and take
my hand,
it reaches for you,
cross this chasm wide
nay I can not, will not hide
this smile upon my lip,
but would feel thee with
this, my fingertip

when

Palm up, take mine hand
As grand is our promised dream
Entwined forever

With this crutch, its old age and wisdom, it whispers no ... this will be the last.
