                   Precious Faith
by Kelly Carson

He is the root
I am the tree
She is the bud at the height of my branch
Hand being open, but not fully grown
Who knows what the womb of time will purge

Hand being open, but not fully grown
It flows in the breeze of a midsummer's daydream
God's blessed child composing Heaven's song
Her hand conducting the orchestra

Hand being open, but not fully grown
It sways up then down, to the left, then the right
God's blessed child voicing Heaven's prayer
Her hand effecting the Trinity

Hand being open, but not fully grown
Palm turns upward to receive Holy Communion
God's blessed child sealing the covenant
Her hand opening Heaven's doorway

I wake to the sound of her thirst now quenched
And am touched by the grace of her hands
Her hands so small, not fully grown
Hold fast to the branch of my tree

He is the root
I am the tree
She is the bud at the height of my branch
With the light of God's love
Her hands look so big
One reaches towards Heaven
The other towards earth
As such we are bound in eternity
