Cherished

Beauty of peacock, grace of deer, 
holding a chalice that's empty of fear. 
The dolphins speak to you in phrases of old, 
You are cherished in love more than myrrh or gold. 
Walk with me among the land of the spirits 
where spring is in bloom and thoughts are the clearest. 
Be patient with me as I've seen the pain 
and have seen love destroyed again and again. 
I do promise this, that I'll stay in your heart, 
and you'll stay in me if our love should part. 
So enter the wisdom that knowing can bring 
and bring back the songs that a child's love brings.
