Within a measured caste, am I,  
yet treasured by the skies above  
or so it seems, when, like a dove,  
my soul has wings, has learned to fly  
  
And freedom is a treasured thing  
I find in dusky days and nights  
alit by stars and firelights,  
though open heart is all I bring  
  
And I, though humble cast-away,  
am rescued by an unknown Queen,  
removed from all the pain that’s been,  
may find a home where I may stay  
  
So, for the kindness She bestows  
upon my weary heart and mind,  
I, too, must give my heart in kind  
and treasure my life, highs and lows  
  
No longer dirty, beaten-down;  
no longer tiresome, parched and faint,  
I lend my soul without complaint  
to She, the bearer of that Crown  
  
For kindness brings what kindness does,  
as proven throughout history,  
as proven, yet, if but by me  
in all I am, and all that was
