I cup my hands
Filled with water
To be as much to you
That you might drink from me
Much as do tender things
Grown between Spring and Fall
Those which come to feed us all
So too can other things
Like love and worthiness
Elation
Reach much farther than our dreams
Our left-behinds and other things
We thought had died so long ago.

And why should we care?
Because when hearts
Which laugh and cry together
Bring their souls to bear
There is two part harmony
If you will drink from me
I'll cup my hands for you
That you might drink of love anew
And watch it grow.
