bright like a star held precious

   in the Hands of the Father
 
 who loves the smallest sparrow
     
     with each beat of each
     
                       tiny
                       
           fluttering
           
     heart
     
     
    that precious you are
    
                         to love

    precious you are



precious as flowerpetals
precious as dew
precious as starshine
precious are you


precious as hope
precious as moonglow
precious as angelwings
& this i know...
precious you are...


   (hush... hush...)


as precious as rainbows
as precious as life


& now as i look
into your eyes
i realize --
blessed we are
with the blessing
of our budding love


blossoming sunrise
