   Closest to the Heart
   When the dust had settled,
   He took it in His mighty hand,
   and squeezed it close together,
   and then breathed life into a man.
   He saw that one was not enough,
   that man alone was just a part,
   so God fashioned woman from a rib,
   closest to the heart.
   Thatâs why she knows the rhythm,
   of the Spiritâs inner work;
   her ears hear its direction,
   and to its voice she is alert.
   Some call it intution,
   when she perceives what God imparts,
   but sheâs only taken her position,
   closest to His heart.
   And now each life beginning,
   grows from a tiny seed within,
   nurtured by her body,
   and all the hope thatâs placed therein.
   For God chose her to be the one,
   to give this gift its start,
   and to hold it safe against her breast,
   closest to the heart.
   With Godly counsel and support,
   she helps her mate contend,
   for by himself heâd be just one,
   but she adds the strength of ten.
   Heâll love her as he loves himself,
   (at least he will if he is smart),
   and exalt her second only unto God,
   and closest to the heart.
   And when her days are golden,
   and sheâs given all that sheâs possessed,
   many are the ones,
   whoâll rise up and call her blessed.
   And when she passes through that gate,
   into the place thatâs just like home,
   theyâll clear a path before her,
   and sheâll kneel before His throne.
   âArise my precious daughter,
   for Iâve loved you from the start;
   come now to the place Iâve made for you,
   closest to my heart.â
