Turn the key and enter, after dark, my house

reaching quickly for the first sofa pillow

this grateful days dance shall come tomorrow

for us all, maybe butterflies too, as she calls!

Then and only then, you may with strength begin to run along with winds of change to be carried like a babe, God through our Lord Jesus the Christ will expect this, selfishness shall bow down always, because you gave. No trut...
