Soldier Blue

When budding leaves push out the branch And falling blossoms scurry past In whirlwind as March winds blow fast Blossoms never ever last Replaced by leaves on tree adorned And Such is love so newly formed As blossoms fly amidst the thorn Love once new is life reborn

What love must be as what I've heard Is two souls that God has merged Blinded to each other's faults As if locked behind a vault Best of friends through worst of times N'er forsaking hearts that pine A morning touch and soft hello I could surely be that beau So as I kneel each night to pray I lift my palms to God and say Oh how Holy you must be Please tell me who you made for me
