I sat by the river, the pebbles scattered nearby
My toes in the sand while balancing my feet
And across my face, creeped a smile

I saw duck feathers float on the water ripples
As webbed feet paddled on by
I bent over and stared at the moon's reflection
In the emerald flowing green tide

I blew a kiss to this moon water
Surrounded by silt and sand
The chalky chuckling face laughed back
And so, I reached out my hand

With trembling fingers, I raised my arms
High above my head and sighed
So simply beautiful was this night
And so simply beautiful are Your eyes

The moon water touched my skin
And Your heavenly finger touched my lips
You told me to be brave now
And it felt like I'd been kissed

Just give me one more moment
To breathe in this crisp night air
And I'll rest easy, slumber sweet
Knowing I felt You here.
