Pure Intimacy

With God and with my child I want to show
my pure true self in its pure intimacy,
and so to each I talk slowly and low,
so personally near we feel, just you and me.

At the same level, we share the same space,
we have our secret pact, we two alone,
on hands and knees, we meet up face-to-face,
we pray and play a game that is our own.

In symmetry and in harmony we achieve
a joy that’s slow to anger and correction,
from faith linked to each other we receive
a trust that gives security and protection.

With You, Lord, and my child in serious fun,
we happy two so close we’re almost one.
