Analysis of In your precious hands
Each breath I take is yours
Every moment I wake
Is you
My heart beats like a bouncing lamb
Because of your gentle laughter
To hold you is to be held
In your precious little hands
Like a river bank
You shape in me a life once faded into dust
You are my life force
I love you from the core of my world
To the universe that is you
