from You to You by You

my love for You
is as a rushing river
that began
as a trickle
in the mountains
and grows
into a majestic body
of living water
that joyfully flows
toward its source,
the mighty sea

yet even the tricklings
from which i began
in the mountains
even they are from You
for it was Your raining
upon my earth
that gave the gathering substance

i flow from You to You by You
for You are all
