Eyes that flash the soul of civilization And warm the heart in observation. Love that whispers with a gentle touch And surrounds with hugs that seem so much. Cry Beloved! Water that caresses with a thousand tongues Sunshine that coos all the birds’ songs Teachers and vets, pronouns and clowns Croissants, marmalade, coffee and new lawns. Cry Beloved! Breezes and sneezes, walks by the shore Seashells that capture all the sea’s roar Powdery sand and laconic lagoons Daydreams and naps in the afternoons Cry Beloved! Smiles, museums, carriages in the park Salads with friends and chocolates too dark Rowing among lily pads and turtles and frogs Hiking and crossing the streams on new logs. Cry Beloved! Flowers and bees buzzing in the sun Hummingbirds hovering, dogs on the run Children running, giggles and wiggles Caring, learning, reading and snuggles Cry Beloved! Snowy mountains, valleys green Faith proclaimed, faith unseen Wonder and ponder, awe and reverence Invitations from God to join in the dance Cry beloved! Hands held together in prayer and in love Eyes raised to heaven on the wings of a dove Caring so deep, affection so real Feel the love and start to heal Cry My Beloved!

CRY BELOVED
Eyes that flash the soul of civilization And warm the heart in observation. Love that whispers with a gentle touch And surrounds with hugs that seem so much. Cry Beloved!

Breezes and sneezes, walks by the shore Seashells that capture all the sea’s roar Powdery sand and laconic lagoons Daydreams and naps in the afternoons Cry Beloved! Smiles, museums, carriages in the park Salads with friends and chocolates too dark Rowing among lily pads and turtles and frogs Hiking and crossing the streams on new logs. Cry Beloved!
