I've never seen an angel's toe
laced in golden thong.

But I have seen the devil's hand
in every deed that's wrong.

Where is the harp, the flute, and fife
to play me through this silent life?

If only God would breathe in me
a deeper faith to set me free,

I'd drop my burdens gratefully
and walk the shores I cannot see.

Hi merle,

This is really nice! Just a few suggestions-
take or leave them...


I've never seen an angel's toe
laced in golden thong.

But I've seen the devil's hand ( I would say " I have seen" to smooth the meter there)
in every deed that's wrong.

Where is the harp, the flute, and fife
to play me through this silent life? (beautiful line!)

If only God would breathe in me
a deeper faith to set me free, ( I love this one too)

I'd drop my burdens gratefully
convinced of shores I can not see.

The last line isn't quite right for me...
maybe, "and search for shores I cannot see" ??

either way, this one is lovely.

K
