I often sit and think about,
   the way things used to be;
And I'd NEVER trade one second
   of our time, just You and Me!

Still I think 'bout those times I prayed,
   just to ask my Lord above;
If He'd really just forgotten'
    That He'd not made my true love!

He had granted many others,
   not to fill my one request;
Did in love He pass me over,
   or's He giving me a test?

Well, He answered rather different,
   than I pictured it would be;
'Twas no big bright light from Heaven,
   and the Angels didn't sing!

Still I knew it in an instant,
   'cause it wasn't hard to tell;
He had MORE than formed perfection,
   when your beauty I beheld!

Now I know what REALLY happened,
   God had taken extra time;
When He made your perfect body,
   'cause He had ME on His mind!

I'm jealous and I'm crushed inside,
   God's taken you away;
Few words describe the pain I feel,
   how lost I am today.

I'm jealous of those pearly gates,
   to know you're just beyond;
'Tis more than I can take right now,
   to think you're really gone.

I'm jealous of those streets of gold,
   you'll stroll on everyday;
I'd visit you there if I could,
   one chance, I'd come to stay.

I'm jealous of the angels there,
   with you right by their side;
My time with you cut far too short,
   real peace I've been denied.

I'm jealous of your happiness,
   you've finally been set free,
So crushed inside, I'm lost for words,
   you're happy without me!

A lady made from toughest strand,
   yet gentle as they come;
She's more than all my hopes and dreams,
   she might just be "the one".

She's daffodils and butter cups,
   she's such a gorgeous girl;
A lie would be she's just my love,
   when really she's my world.

The hottest flame you've ever seen,
   shear lightning strike on land;
You'd face a fury few will know,
   if messing with her man.

She makes me feel like ne'er before,
   I'm happy as can be;
In fact to tell you all the truth,
   she's EVERYTHING to me.

A precious gift sent straight to me,
   from Heaven's gates above;
Perfection formed in tiny hands,
   held daddy's heart with love.

Amazingly phenomenal,
   and perfect all in one;
She's always there within my heart,
   when every day is done.

She's growing up, yes FAR too fast,
   yet still she holds my world;
Not one could fill a heart so full,
   but daddy's little girl.

She knows for sure this one small thing,
   all though we've been apart;
My princess and my angel,
   still holds her daddy's heart.

So many people hide true hurt,
   they're broken down today;
Crushed from life, so hurt inside,
   secrets full of just heartache.

You've seen them too, they're all around,
   folded wings that used to fly;
Shattered dreams of days gone by,
   broken halos past their shine.

Don't cast your stones, but take some time,
   to show them that you care;
Each  life so precious, truth be known,
   it could be you right there.

So lend a hand to help them up,
   take time for them today;
To brush off life and stand again,
   unfurl wings to fly away.

She's gorgeous yet much more than that,
   she's got a precious mind;
A love that spans to ends of earth,
    one words could n'ere define.

She's got it all, bright smile, good looks,
   a heart that draws you in;
Each time I lay my eyes on her,
   I fall in love again.

She's like a wave on ocean sand,
   a breeze of springtime air;
A flowing river through the trees,
   true peace you'll not compare.

She's perfect not for everyone,
   But give it time, you'll see;
A fit that only God could make,
   she's perfect just for me!

I've heard it said there's streets of gold,
   big set pearly gates;
Huge mountains capped with diamond tops,
   this earth would five star rate.

The beauty there, tranquility,
   the peace and happiness;
A dream I've dreamt for many years,
   'Til day I realized this:

It's peaceful bliss, I'm sure it is,
   what Heaven's meant to be;
But here on earth my gorgeous love,
   is close to that for me.

She's special, no, she's more than that,
   no clue how much she's worth;
But in my heart she's one small piece,
   of Heaven here on earth.

She's found a way to mend this heart,
   once broken from life's harm;
Since finding her, to hold her close,
   is Heaven in my arms.
