A Love Song

God sings a song,

a love song,

to the little girl

trapped in the heart

of the woman

she has grown to be.

God sings

you are my fragrance,

a sweet-smelling perfume

in my presence.

The woman

doesn’t want to remember

the little girl

of so long ago.

But God remembers,

and sings to her a song.

God sings

you are my pearl,

rare and precious jewel

of my soul.

The woman is sad

in remembering

the broken heart and soul

of the little girl.

God remembers her grief,

and sings to her a song.

God sings

you are my beloved,

endearing daughter of my heart.

God sings a song,

a love song,

to the little girl

to free the woman

trapped in the heart

of the little girl

of so long ago.

God sings

you are my fragrance,

a sweet-smelling perfume

in my presence.

You are my pearl,

rare and precious jewel

of my soul.

You are my beloved,

endearing daughter of my heart.
