Most hopeful

I never could have imagined a day

When you would come to me so loyally

Showing me your many faces

Of innocence and nobility.

You are here to feed off

The outpourings of my soul 

And we are no more caged,

No more bound to tell and show.

I feed you well, I keep you healthy,

I keep you clean and sound

And where else could divine love be found

If not in my hearth and home?

I've given you direction, the map is drawn

And sometimes you are in flight

And sometimes you fawn

But never for a day since today

Have I felt fright

Rebuilding us God's way.

And whether it is to love,

Whether it is to play

I serve sometimes

And sometimes I slay

For your beauty is so alluring,

Your voice is so golden,

The most hopeful

Of all I've beholden.
