Spring: Wake

Wake up, sleepyhead
I pulled you out from the flowerbed
My breath fills your lungs
I’ll give this garden to my favorite son

You are prince of all you see
I’d like us to care for it together
You just look so much like me
My affections for you have no measure

You are clothed in brilliance
Naked as you came
Because you bear my likeness
Blessed be your name

Walk with me, my child
We’ll give names to all creatures wild
I’ll strengthen your hands
Bless and be blessed by this land

You are prince of all you see
I’d like us to care for it together
You just look so much like me
My affections for you have no measure

You are my begotten
The one I love
Today I am your father
Our story’s just begun
