unfamiliar with strife,

and she is Loved.

dancing through years,

and she is Loved.

living her life,

Bearing her children,

acquainted with tears,

and she is Loved.

seeking a balm,

receiving new life,

escaping this world's bonds,

released from all strife,

her name is Beloved,

and she is Home.
