Modern Song of Solomon

My feet throb. I didn't realize how much I needed to rest until I sat down.

A gentle rap sounds on my door. "My darling, it's me."

His hand gently touches my head. His fingers run through my locks.

But I cannot look up.

He gently pulls me in, I feel his tears fall on my crown.

"My dear lamb, I will never run out of ways to say, 'I love you.' Are you not of more value than many sparrows?"
