FOR EMILY

God took all the new in me,
The precious and true-blue in me,
The sweetest “I Love You” in me,
And then created you.

And it was I that gave you birth
When Angels blew your soul to earth,
And now I see what life is worth,
’Cause Love created you.

And whether I’ve been weak or strong,
Life’s pleasures for me brief or long,
I’ve sung one grand, triumphant song.
It resonates in you.

So, in these words your heart can rest,
That Universe has done its best
And welcomed you as sacred guest
When Love created you.
