around you, behind you,

giving to you my warmth,

my love, my love, so does

God wrap Her Self

around us, giving She,

for She is love loving love.

“How does He do that,”

you ask. He is the beauty

in the lilies and the breeze

from off the seas, the sun

from our horizon, the moon

silhouetting trees, the life

that whirs our belovéd fur childs,

the ground that steadies our seats,

the food that makes our tummies purr,

the teas that help us sleep — these,

the caresses, Her Majesty’s,

even as I, in you, caress Thee.
