Verse 1
********
I dare not tell you now
the feelings
that overwhelm
I dare not write
nor post
nor call.
|
Verse 2
********
I dare not tell you at all.
For you will intercede.
You will mount your chariot
and charge
slay the dragons
and fight all
who seek to harm.
|
Verse 3
********
You will surround me
with children's laughter
and hugs,
with a husband's
fond embrace
with friendship
and kinship
and every smiling face
to ensure I not fall
into the adversary's snare
nor lose this battle
nor lose this race
which I have not strength
to run, nor win.
|
Verse 4
********
But still I call
and beckon to you
to all in many ways
for you know how
my spirits to always raise.
|
Verse 5
********
Thus we learn it is not
just the strength
to run the race
or to even win
it is who we are
and you are who we need.
|
Verse 6
********
So mount your chariot
and draw your sword
evil dragons slay
for quit is the word
you want me
not to say.
|
Verse 7
********
Then you will see
who dares to enter in
to another's space
of life and love
to be to them
what they cannot
ever pretend to be.
|
Verse 8
********
For Father counts
on us to help one another
where one is weak
the other
He made strong.
|
Verse 9
********
And He reminds
one and all
there is no race
but a probation
to pass the test of ourself
without the comparison
to another;
to fulfill our mission
and leave the adversary
on the way
to murmur and bemoan
all he could've been
had he the agency
again to decide.
|
Verse 10
********
Who would dare
to help a me
or a you?
|
Verse 11
********
Anyone you ask upon
would offer to help
but would they do?
|
Verse 12
********
No those who dare
offer not, nor ask
they mount their chariots
draw their swords
and slay the dragons;
then say to one and all
who now was it called?
