I committed to be one for whom
The work and food and bed were blessed
Until they were.
Say the grace you can pray for and get:
Ask for courage and character.
Ask for a sign:
I saw your short nightgown, green as a mallard’s head.
I saw the sign of the shining bed.
I had doubt bad
Until one lay down.
