You left your shield, my darling
You walked into battle without it
I wondered why you forgot about it
But, you didn’t answer when I beckoned
I wanted to return it to you that second
Before you got wounded and ruined…
You thought your plan was better suited
But darling without me you were looted
I was trying to get your attention
Hoping you’d choose prevention
And then, you came to me today, frustrated and worn
A week of trials and thorns
But darling, you forgot you were reborn
By the blood of the lamb, meant to be adorned
Beautiful and valuable
But womanly and fallible
As a daughter of me, the king
My desire is that you tenaciously cling
To my love that renews like Spring
My hunger for you is not a fling
Beloved, you are who I crave
You know me, I can save
In my book, your name is engraved
Find your satisfaction in me
I won’t leave you stranded, I guarantee
This love thing is my specialty
Your cup will be overflowing
Your zest for life overgrowing
Your love for others super showing
My light in you greatly glowing
So darling, take back your shield
Give me your heart, so it can be healed
For in me, your beauty is revealed!
