The Letter of the Law

I began to love you
from the time that I first began to see you
And all the times I see you again
I’ve wondered how to bless you
and when ever I don’t see you I think deeper
Then I look at you in different ways


You don’t know how it is to be without you
But I won’t stop my cares for all my years
In my mind I’m always searching for you
Thinking of a way to be your friend


You left me out to wonder
Through the world you have made in creation
Now I know what’s hidden in the Earth
I’ve gathered precious thoughts for you
And hid them in the wonders of my time
Add them to the riches of your heart


You don’t know how it’s been to be without you
But I haven’t stopped my care for all my years
In my mind I’m always searching for you
Thinking of a way to be your friend


I must complete the work of my life
and return it to the Earth
I’ll give you everything that I found for you
I’m going to another place
Remembering the days that I wept for you
It wasn’t that my life was spent in vain
