Where I have gone, I am not so small.

My soul is as wide as the world is tall.

I have gone to answer the call, the call

Of the One who takes care of us all.

Wherever you look,

You will find me there

In the heart of the rose,

In the heart of a prayer.

On butterflies wings,

On wings of my own,

To you, I’m gone,

But I’m never alone, I am home.

Proverbs 31:31

“Honor her for all that her hands have done, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.”
