Para Aixa
My heart slept over your heart last night.
“Such confusion!” some might say.
“Two hearts against each other!”
“Outpacing.”
“Outrunning.”
But my heart had no hurries
and its strength was but the whisper of yours.
One beat.
One pace.
One for each other.
One flesh.
One heart, as God is One,
beating out of two souls.
Like the sun
who has so much and freely gives.
I am rich.
Like a lily
that blossoms its soul for all to see.
I am rich.
Like the water
that brought me to You.
I am rich.
Like the air
that lifts me up when I’m asleep.
I am rich.
Like little words a child can read.
I am rich.
Like your smile,
a piece of heaven.
I am rich.
Like the kisses
of children given me.
I am rich.
Like the stars that make a moonless night.
I am rich.
Like a playground in summertime.
I am rich.
Like a small house that’s a big home.
I am rich…
…because You dwell in me.
Recibió un millón de vuelta
y fue aún más rico.
The rich man, feeling a little poor,
sent a smile to his youngest son,
a year and a half old delicious rascal.
and was all the richer.
