Faithfulness

You delight over me with singing

when I have no song

lifting my face to yours

inviting me to dance

reminding me 
that you are the music

and you have chosen me
as your bride

Breathing your life into mine

when I am breathless

renewed, I rise

gently leading me beside still waters

I am compelled to follow

Though my confession of faith

a mere pittance

widowed and poor

unworthy

you rejoice in my offering

accepted

cleansing me

clothing me

in garments

reserved for a prodigal
