Undying Love

Undying Love

He laid his hands upon her head
And prayed for who knows what.
She opened up her eyes to look,
But she saw him not.

He gave to her cool water
With which to quench her thirst.
She took from him the offering,
Though he was not the first.

He offered her his callused hand
With which to help her rise.
She looked at him in askance,
But heard not his replies.

He placed within her hands his heart
For the strength that she would need,
She cupped it to her breast with love,
But understood not his deed.

He gave to her his blessing,
With which she could be free,
She took and wrapped it in her dreams,
A light for all to see!

He gave to her undying love,
With which she could be shown,
She took it and blossomed into the world,
Understanding what Dad had known...
