O my Beloved,

You find me on the journey and
guide my steps;
You know my strengths
and my weaknesses.
Even before my words rise up in prayer,
Lo, you have already heard
my heart call.
You encompass me with love
where'er I go,
and your strength is my shield.
Such sensitivity is too wonderful
for me; it is high:
boundless gratitude
is my soul's response.
