My love is caged; the dog denied
My presence now trembled and cried,
Bound beast beloved and loved deeply,
Waited all day, crated and neatly,
For my return; turn latch and slide.
Now bounding and bobbing; wide eyed,
Circling, she picks up her stride,
Now sitting, kisses me sweetly,
My love is caged.
Christ loves like this I dared decide,
Though rotten, wrecked, quick to divide;
Loyal still, He does completely.
Both dog and man, weak and needy,
Bind hearts in time, a quest allied,
My Love is caged.
