Deiner Gnade

Deiner Gnade

I could name each

And every star in the universe

After you.

You could stand by me

And never have anyone distress you.

I could be still,

And not have my regrets

Placed before me.

You could fly across the world,

Your beauty, so unperturbed,

So untroubled. So undisturbed.

I would stand here,

And revel in all

I can….

You would glide

In your grace.

Man kind's jealousy of your

Elegance. Your agility….

And I,

I would be your sword

In bloodshed and battle.

Your shield through

Pain and war,

Suffering and scorn….

I could name

Each and every

Star after you,

Make do with every

Smile I see in you.
