Open my heart

As the warmth of the sun
opens the flower
to light,

so your presence
opens my heart
to love.

There is a rich beauty
about your gaze
that draws me
to you

until

there is only
you.

You are
the face of love

that looks past
my shortcomings and weaknesses,

and knows only
my heart,

knitting mine to yours
in a beautiful unity of life.

You are Jesus,
lover of my soul.
