Leap

There are roads beyond the roads,
multitudes of ways,
to line the days with joy.

When song is beyond possibility
and dance is far too hard,
when words don't slip from stumbled lips
and other senses barred,
all that's done with choices gone
to show a leaping heart
is leaping hands of praise.

Other roads beyond the roads,
other styles of praise
to line the days with joy.

And you will leap
and fly your flag
and laugh until you burst.
For you have a love,
a special love,
for Him who loved you first.

This is beautiful! Love that praise is simply an expression of God's love first lavished on us -- a leaping heart borne on leaping hands. Awesome, Keith!

I never walk away from tour poetry unchanged, even if you only write two lines. Thank you for the praise focused on the One who deserves it!
