I Walked Around For Three Days

I walked around for three days
Like a giddy bride,
Dreaming of the night
When my love would come
And carry me away.

I walked around for two days
With cheeks flushed and red,
As one who had been ravished
By Cupid or
Devoured by a starving lover.

I walked around for one night
Wondering what would come now,
Deeply satisfied knowing
That all would be well

Somehow.

And on the Seventh Day,
I rested with My Love
