i give this heart

the one that's torn

i give this yes

the one that yearns

i give this life

the one with love

love and sacrifice

i give this heart

the one that's sore

i give this amen

and it hurts more

i give my words

my actions 

burn

i give this heart 

the one with joy

i give this smile

for you to enjoy

i give this song

with all 

of what holds meaning

i give to you

my everything

muddy boots, thoughts of rain,

air, air,

chilly morning in haze

red barn door contrasting 

murmur of anxious nickers asking

you caress,

brown eyes and hooves

saddle and reins tighten,

awaiting, awaiting,

the racing of two

girth groans the saddle creaks 

you feel,

the wish with happiness 

the urge of the wind says

come, come, 

it beckons and lifts you up

invisible hands that reach beneath 

your arms and wrap around you
