ONCE
HER LOVE
MADE ME STRONG AS AN ARMY
OF TEN THOUSAND MEN
AND IN MY HEART
I GUARDED HER LOVE
WITH THE POWERS OF MINE
BUT POWERS OF ANOTHER FORCE
STOLE HER FROM THE THRESHOLD
OF MY GATES.
AND MY ARMY'S EXISTENCE WAS DEFEATED.
BUT THERE WAS A REKINDLING OF HER IN ME
LIKE FRESH LIFE JUST BORN
AND THOUGH SHE IS NO LONGER HERE
MY ARMY HAS GROWN TWICE OVER
AND THE FORTRESS IS STILL HELD.
