Lord, if you're gonna make me
make me into something small.
Something you can hold in the palm of your hand
singing like a seashell when you bend your head.
And if you make me a bird,
make me a brown bird, with wings too short to fly far with.
Name me anything at all: boot, thimble, spoon, oil,
as long as I am yours.
