Analysis of The beauty of your infinity

Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)



You have done things that you knew
Would disappoint me for a moment or two
But I think about your eternity
And the devastating beauty it has to me
Though your body is fragile
Borrowed and shamed
I will always remember the hope in your name
I can hardly believe that you could compare
To the gentle petals, or snowflakes we share
I think about how you will see the Lord
And compare thoughts on the things you've shared
As time falls through the hourglass of life
Through all of the good and all of the strife
Look how far you have to go
To learn the things that you didn't know
How there is room enough for infinity
