_____by N'Jeri Faith
Free me--
you say you
know
what will free
me
but you
only know what I
tell you.

There are other
things
as I sit at
your feet
and tell you
what I've wanted
to do,
how I've wanted
for you
to say "yes"--
just say yes...

Out of my lips,
I gather courage
(like you taught me)
to be brave, to ask,
and I ask you
hoping that like I've hoped
you have been waiting
as I have waited
for
THIS
single, solitary moment
to seal a bond
that would've taken
lifetimes
to procure--
with what
Angels long to
feel,
long to touch.

And with sweet, tender
gentleness,
you free me.
