what a long journey it was.
Firm and equally tender are Your words of discipline.
Without humiliation, she hears what is meant for her ears alone.
You sit her among the flowers,
and compare her to the petals.
'Rest', You say. 'Stay with me. Never leave again.'
Wide tearful eyes give Him the affirmation of her loyalty.
'Rest.'
You carry her to the places she cannot go herself.
Down the cliff,
To the water,
You gently dip her in,
and cleanses the tear stained dirt from her cheeks and hands.
You have drawn her closer still.
