When I think back through
Those many decades behind us,
I feel lucky and quite foolish
For as each passed by,
It made much more clear
That there was no circumstance
So burdensome that it should keep us
From the place, from the one,
Where we, both of us,
Belong.

Intro 10: Bound
Bound
With thee
Forever,
Closer wert thou,
Yet as a sister,
So hast thou ever been:
All our lives, protected us
With this sweet forever of thine.
Intro 9: Yearned
So both have we
So yearned…
So hid…
Intro 8: Thy Bed
Would, I might have been
Your bed on so dark a night;
Dark that you would sleep.
Rest now weary child.
In my keep, upon my breast
Rest your frightened head.
Calm indeed, you’ll sleep,
No want or need forgotten
You’ll weep, as I said,
And your soul will heal.
Drink you, deep, of comfort, child
And again be whole
Instead, not broken.
When you wake and smile at me,
Look into my eyes,
Sister, I would see
You’d gaze up and smile at me
A smile I’d prize
Above all pleasure
In this, would grace and measure
Ever fill your cup.
Intro 7: Seconds
every second
was proof
of that
which every
year, or
even every
life, would
hold
Intro 6: Sin
No worse a sin
Than taking God’s Gift of love,
And casting it aside,
For whatever reason.
Intro 5: A Considered Warning
A warning of love
Is a warning of Joy,
A warning of pain;
But a warning, nonetheless.
