My Nest

With you and within you a nest is found

One, by love and trust tis bound

Within, my young and old rest sound

In this together we are gowned

Let fall more joy to us, sent down

A gift of deity's kindly crown

To live and love in time's sure round

More life and breath to give renown

In this nest my soul finds ground

Threads of light and truth are wound

Goodwill and sacredness astound

A nest that is - eternal abound

To my dear wife - whose faith in me lifts and holds me up | John
