Soft wind swaying under a bright sun
On our green resting place, we lay holding hands
Our eyes are closed, our thoughts entwined
Your presence makes my heart beat perfectly to the rhythms of my destiny
Daddy, daddy! Get up and dance with me!
While you sing your love in this divine melody
You swirl me around with echoes of laughter
Moving in your arms is the only place I want to be
You shake off the pieces of pain and shame that weigh on my head
What has fallen opens a way to host greater glory
You crown me with flowers that you have thoughtfully gardened, each one speaking of your beauty
My hair moves wild and free as we run with the breeze of these green pastures
Face to face, a carefully crafted feast that you have prepared sits between you and me
On our green carpet, we savor this moment of delicacy
We lay under the stars, my head resting on your lap
You stroke my hair softly as your words flood my whole being with liquid love
Eyelids close slowly in the calm of your embrace
“Please stay with me this close and don’t ever let me go”, I whisper
“I will be here, waiting for you to wake up and join me for tomorrow’s adventure”, you reassure me with your shining eyes
This place of rest is ours forever and ever, for eternity
Psalms 23
