As newborn hands open
As the source meets the sea
As rain kisses stone
As summer eyes see
As smiles touch the corners
Of mouths mute with fear
As the frail light of morning
Calls notes to the ear
As the life you have lived
Carves its joy on your face
As the arms everlasting
Hold us in grace
So you have held me
I finally see
As the love which you gave
Lives forever in me
