Upon A Hill

A long walk on far distant hill,

I started up, but against my will.

I wouldn't see what crowned the top,

What lay ahead made my heart stop.

A pretty girl fit just for me,

With hands of wonder, eyes that see.

Her eyes they looked in my direction.

My heart and soul they soon affected.

Captured by her grace and beauty,

Unfounded love that she gave to me.

Why do you give so much, not due me?

For I deserved much less than she.

She waved my doubt away with words,

And said I had always been hers.

I found in her, my eyes did see,

In she, no cause to disagree.

So I grew up and she with me,

Taught well with love's sincerity.

I soon believed that I would die,

If she did from my reaching fly.

By Grace she found a place, fit in.

My Abigail, to quit my sin.

Why, I don't know, God favored me.

To send my wife, redeeming me.

I love you, Areli

Love, your husband
