I WRAP YOU IN WORDS

I swaddle you in my words,

My loving sounds natural,

Of no design, forced from me,

By my inborn desire for,

All of you, and so,

I wrap you in them,

Replacing garb and house,

And nation and all,

Wrapping my flowing love

Around each part of you,

Body, soul, heart, and mind.
