WATER OF LOVE


      I hold you like water in my hands
      Never wanting to spill a drop
      Knowing a little of you will
      Evaporate to the world

      Then the rain begins to fall
      And like our love
      My hands fill again with you
      One drop at a time you fill me

      If ever my hands should part
      Wait for me to bring them together
      For again I will take you
      Into my life and my heart

      Let me drink of you
      Taste your sweet flavor
      Then we join for all of time
      The exchange is ours to share

      I am water in your hands
      Trusting you to hold me kindly
      Drink of me and taste my love
      Find quiet times to hold and be held
