Thy voice like honey
Falls on my ears
But words it carries
Awakens my fears
Truths that flow
From thy lips to my soul
Illuminates the depths
Of a roughly hewn hole
Wherewithal shall I keep
From thee
Thy voice is burned
In my memory
Not withstanding
Thy kind words to me
When shall I learn
To be like thee?
A whisper and I listen
An order, I understand
Thou tellest me then
To take a stand
Thy silence is deafening
When in doubt I rebel
Yet the smile in thine eyes
One can foretell
Thy commands carry authority
One cannot disobey
Yet thy laughter, with such gaiety
One must stay
To be under thine hand
I accept with pride
Honor and integrity
Are at thy side
Thou hast broken the silence
Of my reverie
Thou hast loosened my bonds
I now fly free
Words that I speak
My lips do err
But I forever will know
That thou art fair
My thanks to thee
Never will they end
For I know that thou art
A True Friend
