Man Beloved
Oh bright star man beloved
upon your visage mine heart has hovered
examined closely the paths you travel
your soul I desire to unravel
depth upon depth draws forth your design
and within a formidable mind
wherever you turn there is success
the things that your hands caress
carefully constructed a life that's yours
fathomless love of the forests outdoors
and of painting the perpetual shores
having roamed the Irish moors
appreciation for God whom you imitate
fabrication and artifice do you create
always tendering for something new
Love for nature shows in all you do
My heart within has become entwined
upon table of life you've richly dined
all those lives that you pass through
can't be untouched by what is you
in ancient times deemed for courts of Kings
maidens sing of your deeds with tambourines
danced for you would the ladies fair
for each would deign your table to share
Sometimes I think your a little remiss
that they all want softly your lips to kiss
within your presence they wish to stand
that God has designed a glorious man
Do you know oh man , do you reflect
what is your impact and upon those you effect
and lift our souls when upon us you shine
and show us that God's gifts divine
Like mountainous meadows richly clothed
and habitation wherein creativity abode
a man who dwells by the motherlode
who knows that life is richer than gold
indwelling a man is spiritual fire
the work of his hands shows inner desire
embrace the gifts that Father does give
to show wherein your loves do live
God would gift you even more
because for him your heart did bore
to receive those that he would gift
you must your eyes to Father lift
