Daughter

The rock badgers are building a palace!

On a south-facing hillside.


From your balcony you will see

Mount Carmel

The mountain by the sea

Where the song of your heart

Was forged


There are fields of flax in the valley 

Where your enemies were 

Slaughtered.


Your sons will rejoice

When bringing gifts to your table

Your daughters will take hold

Of the treasures of the earth

And all their visions

Will succeed 


The coastal plains of Asher,

The fertile fields, will rejoice

To fill your home with

Everything good.


My God has placed you,

A bright jewel, in settings 

Of gold and silver

And he will be the guardian 

Of your joy

Forever

A braided heart I had in keeping Now bound and guarded Under eyes unsleeping I spurned the crass and goaded flesh When to have you then Was to love you less.
