Lord grant me
The assurance of Abraham
The meekness of Moses
The strength of Samson
...
From single thread to a garment
From a flower to a bouquet
From a blade of grass to a lawn
From a grain of sand to a beach
...
Overdosed with fatality and fear
Stung by the scorpion of betrayal
Raped by life's ravaging realities
Terminally tormented by my past
...
There you stood among other trees
In a garden of legendary emeralds
Your luxuriant leaves waving to the heavens
You arresting branches kissing the sky
...
Stronger than steel
Wider than the world
Deeper then the depths
Higher than the heavens
...
Misarable as can be
Tied up from head to my knee
Restless like the deep blue sea
A slave dying to be free
...
