You Are

You Are

By M. F. B. Porter

You are the graceful bird

feathered wings to the wind

You are the budding flower

on which the sun grins

You are the clouds in the sky

bright white and so pure

You are the the waves in the sea

always steady, always sure

You are the hope in the cause

perseverant and strong

You are the heart of my heart

and there you’ll always belong

You are the light in the dark

the illuminated path

You are the tune to my song

the angel voice that you hath

You are the heavenly saint

for who I have sinned

You are the graceful bird
feathered wings to the wind.
