Blessing

Tear it open
Rip it out
Throw to the ground
And leave no doubt

Grind it down
To thin fine dust
Get rid of it
You know you must

Given to you
Some time ago
You didn't say yes
But couldn't say no

Treasured it dear
For a year you did
Then from behind your fear
You hid

You held it in your
Gentle hand
It's loving beat
You could not stand

You threw it down
Upon the ground
Then in my face
Your feet did pound

So dig a grave
Dig it deep
Bury my heart
And watch me weep
