This beauty of a girl I know,
   will wow you with her smile;
Yet beyond that, she's SO much more,
   she'll go that extra mile.

She's sweet as honey, pure as gold,
   small hint of sassy flare;
A friend to me like no one else,
   with heart you'll not compare.

She's strong in will, yet soft at heart,
   she's made it on her own;
Yet makes the rarest gem on earth,
   look like a mass of stone.

She's gentle, pure with peace of mind,
   she's got a hold on me;
This once thought shattered heart of mine,
   now whole as one could be.

Now if you see her walk your way,
   you bet you'll feel it too;
Exuding love with just her smile,
   she'll get a grip on you.

I never say enough each day,
   or tell you all the time;
The truth about just what you've done,
   to give me peace of mind.

So baby doll, it's time you heard,
   in case you've never knew;
My heart has found forever home,
   since finding home in you.

You've broke the binds and mended now,
   this once so shattered heart;
You focused on the smallest things,
   to set our love apart.

So this I say, my precious gem,
   in case you didn't know;
You stole my heart to make it yours,
   a long long time ago!

She may not be just what YOU think,
   the perfect girl should be;
But hear me out, my gorgeous girl,
   is perfect just for ME.

You'll never find more gentle love,
   she loves me from her heart;
This type of love, '**** other things,
   what sets my girl apart.

She's stronger than a full grown ox,
   at least in her own mind;
But mess with me, you'll find out quick,
    she'll put you back in line.

Oh sure there's other folks who think,
   she's crazy as can be;
In fact, they're right, she truly is,
   she's CRAZY over ME!!

She's gorgeous, yet far more than that,
   she's fallen hard for me;
The one that stole my heart away,
   she's all the air I breathe.

She's perfect in her own sweet way,
   just like an angel's dream;
If you could stand right where I'm at,
   you'd see just what I mean.

She's simple in a complex way,
   my sunshine through each night;
She turns my world all upside down,
   yet makes it seem just right.

She's gentle like a drop of rain,
   yet fierce as thunderous roar;
She fights to see each battle won,
   true victor in life's war.

She's soft at heart but strong at will,
   perfection at its best;
A dream come true for me to love,
   each moment I've got left!

Not once a one of us had ever thought,
   that day would be your last;
Or dreamed we'd have to say goodbye,
   far many years too fast.

You came into our life one day,
   few later, you were gone;
Each one of us still grieving now,
   but yet still moving on.

It's harder than we thought it'd be,
   if only we'd have known;
Our Father needed you today,
   His Angel, Home sweet Home.

You've got the best of teachers now,
   to learn your ABC's;
A playground made of purest gold,
   beside that Crystal Sea.

We're happy, yet we're crushed inside,
   still missin' you down here;
We're jealous yet we know you're blessed,
   you'll never shed one tear!

So as we're meeting here today,
   another year gone by;
We're proud of you no matter what,
   we KNOW you're soaring high.

We miss you each and every day,
   by now I'm sure you know;
That Heaven gained OUR precious gem,
   when Heaven gained YOUR soul!

I've got a thing or two to say,
   oh sure, I'm shedding tears;
This life is harder than it was before,
   without you with me here.

Now when the nightfall closes round,
    without you by my side;
The peace I had just holdin you,
   has turned to pain each night.

I know you didn't walk away,
   when Heaven took you Home;
Yet being here without my friend,
   has left me all alone.

So now I'll  let you guide my way,
   with you I'll make it through;
Cause every thought of you I have's...
   one moment spent with you.
