Heart Awakened

My beloved is handsome and joyful.

Our home is a sanctuary and you are my loving provider.

You sustain me with the rewards of your labor and sacrifice.

You are strong and courageous, a leader full of grace and mercy.

Your lips are sweet to my taste.

Your eyes dance with me as you speak words of love.

Let your powerful left hand embrace my head,

And your stalwart right arm encircle me.

I am lovesick for you.
