The Holding Heart

Carry the Love that you treasure

deep in your open heart;

melodise fragments of beauty

that sing in your life from the start.

Listen to depths in your silence;

draw on the strength of your Lord;

lengthen the web of your weaving

and capture the world in its cord.

This is a song of forever;

this is a message for all:

offer compassion to others

and recognise this as our call.
