They've given all as war raged on,
   they gave their best each day;
They fought to free each one of us,
   to see 'ole glory wave!

They stood so strong, so proud and tall,
   our freedom to defend;
That son or daughter, mom or dad,
   that husband, wife, or friend!

Though young or old, some rich or poor,
   each answered beckon call;
They fought to let our freedom ring,
   each soldier gave their all!

The ones that fell, who now have passed,
   who paid the bigger price;
Left loved ones here with broken hearts,
   still lost in silent cries!

Then ones still here, so many ways
  the war has left it's mark;
With scars and shattered dreams they have,
   so many broken hearts!

I take the time to pen these words,
   to stand up to my feet,
Saluting every one who've fought,
   the few, OUR BRAVE ELITE!!

There's times in life that seem so sad
We've been through trial by fire
But all along you stood by me
All through life's muck and mire!
Not ever once was I alone
You've always seen me through
Though broken down and tired yourself
With love you stood so true!
I'm awe inspired by love you have
No matter circumstance
You've always shown amazing strength
Each time you had a chance!
You've broken down each wall I'd built
To never love again
You've shown me how to stand so strong
And take it on the chin!
It's almost though you've super strength
My world you often shook
You've shown me love that's beyond strong-
A hero in my book!
I tell you this one thing right now
I'm not the perfect man
I've failed at times all through my life
To live God's simple plan!
This one thing now I've came to see
Just as a rose has thorns,
As grandest ocean here on earth
Is rocked at times by storms,
It's who's beside you in those times
That tells the final tale
So thanks to you beside me then
Those hard times often pale!

Some people think you're not just right,
   no perfect match for me;
Yet they don't know what I've found out,
    how awesome love can be.

I've  come to see what happy is,
   one moment by your side;
Since you've became my "Bonnie" now,
   and I've became your "Clyde".

It's more than just a simple bond,
   we make the best of teams;
The kind that most can only find,
   in hopeful wish and dreams!

I wish those people once could feel,
    how real true love can be;
To see the truth what your love means,
   and all you are to me!

The way it feels to hold you close,
   to fit just like a glove;
It's not so hard to see it now,
   no wonder I'm in love!

Through all my life and many years,
   as sin in life I trod;
You bent your knees to pray and beg,
   I'd turn my life to God!

You raised me right and showed the way,
   to God, the narrow path;
Yet as I ran the other way,
   you prayed He'd spare His wrath!

You never judged, but stood by me,
   for all those sin-filled years;
You always showed your love for me,
   yet silently shed tears!

Now as you know, I've given all,
   my life to His control;
I thank My Lord for second chance,
   since once I let Him go.

He's shown me how to live again,
   He's given life anew;
He watched 'ore me and led my way,
   in life He's seen me through!

Those times I know I let you down,
   you never let it show;
It's since you fought SO hard for me,
   the Devil let me go!

Thanks to the prayers you knelt and prayed,
   my Lord has set me free;
And though I ran so hard from God,
   through all, you stood by me!

Where is My God in times of need,
   when sorrows feel the worst?
Where is He when despair hits home,
   when broken hearts so hurt?

Where is He when I've fallen down,
   and stumbled once again?
Where is He when in darkness now,
   I feel I've reached the end?

Where is He when the storms now rage,
   and lightning crashes 'round?
Where is He when the Devil wins,
   and Satan  has me bound?

Where is He when I need Him most,
   those times amassed with fear?
To answer every one of these,
   just look, He's been right there!

Just take the time to look around,
   He's been right by your side;
He'll hold you close to comfort you,
   you'll NEVER be denied!

He's waiting there with arms outstretched,
   He's listening for your call;
It's up to you to turn to Him,
   at any time you fall!

You'll see if resting in His Arms,
   He answers every prayer;
You'll never feel alone again,
   you'll know He's ALWAYS there!!

There's times in life that seem so hard,
   those days and weeks that never end;
So few of us can stand the torture,
   not to break but only bend.

We fight the wars among few others,
    stand alone in times we're tried;
To find the strength, to win each battle,
    stand for peace we've been denied.

We don't lose hope, keep pressing on,
   for those few things we know are right;
Keep truly focused on the future,
   forging on to win this fight.

Now as we lay our body down,
   find our self as though it seems;
Finally find that piece we longed for,
   restful sleep and peaceful dreams.

Good morning to you gorgeous love,
  you've been on my mind.
Your popping up in all my dreams,
   Your of the rarest kind!

You make me feel most everyday,
  a true and special love;
You show me oft that I'm the man,
  you're always dreaming of!

For since you've came into my life,
  my heart has found its place;
My days are so much brighter now
  while walking through life's race!

I never thought I'd find such love,
   now possible it seems;
Since now I've found what I've not had
  the Angel in my dreams!

So what in the world does true love mean
And how is love best shown
A gift to love in life each day,
Be sure you make it known!
It starts with "L" for laughing a lot
Don't spend your life so sad
Just keep it light, enjoy each day,
Don't ever leave her mad!
Up next is "O" for observing her,
Just watch her everyday
She'll soak up all your attention then
Your eyes won't ever stray!
The "V" stands for total vigilance
Always work on showing love
Don't ever let your passion lapse,
Show it's her you're dreaming of!
And lastly "E" stands for everything
Show her what she's truly worth
Let her know she's all you ever need
Or want upon this earth!
So let's re-cap, just Laugh a lot
Observe her everyday
Be Vigilant that she feels your love
In Everything you say!
This spells out "LOVE" that a real man has
To show best to his wife,
He gives her all each and everyday-
She stands by him through life!

If looking for your one true love
You'll know as their loves shown
You'll feel for once wrapped in their arms
You're finally home sweet home!
So open up your heart right now
I know you'll find such peace,
You'll never rent a space for love
To set your heart at ease!
Don't worry 'bout new furnishings
Bring only what you've got
'Cause since your heart has moved in here
I found I've got a lot!
Don't take your time, just come on now
You've got my heart rent free
I give my love now all to you
To be all I can be!
I've looked all life for special love
A love that's near divine
A precious love so hard to find
A love like yours and mine!
So now I give all willingly
You'll never have to pry
I'll show you best my love for you
A love you can't deny!
So get your things and move on in
And together life we'll roam
Just sign this lifetime lease of love
My heart is now your home!

I never once knew loneliness
Could bring about such fear
Until that day I lost your love
Now lost and lonely dear!
You brought me so much happiness
You filled me with delight
Now as I'm here all by myself
My sunshine turned to night!
See not to very long ago
You came into my life
No matter how I pushed away
You still became my wife!
You loved me like no other has,
You softened hardest heart,
Yes with your soft and gentle touch
You ripped my life apart!
Now love you see's a touchy word
'Cause sometimes its so cruel,
For often times you love someone
To find you've been a fool!
Although I made safe boundaries
Your love pushed right on through
I felt I knew what real love was
But found it wasn't true!
When one heart loves another
As life swings to and fro
Sometimes your love is shown the best
By letting loved ones go!
So this I've done unwillingly
I know it wasn't right
To hold on to your love no more-
I finally quit the fight!
My heart still longs for you my dear
My mind is all a buzz
I never once before have felt
What lonely really was!

Since Jesus came from Heaven above
   and died for all the lost,
The angels dance and sing each time
   one sinner finds the Cross!

Their praise and worship for My Lord,
   sounds many times each day;
When Jesus finds another lamb,
   who'd somehow went astray!

See, not so very long ago,
   myself was lost in sin;
But Jesus broke the devil's  binds,
   'fore satan reeled me in!

So now I think about the joy,
   when angels got the news;
I know they danced with joy for me,
    I know they'll dance for you!

Let's give them more to shout about,
   tell other's 'bout Our King;
Let's keep those angels on the move,
   they love to dance and sing!

Do you question where you're headed,
   when the roll is called up there?
Do you feel you've been successful,
   for in Heaven to prepare?

Do you know Him as Your Saviour?
   Is your heart His Home to stay?
Have you trusted Him to fully,
   walk beside you everyday?

Have you lived your life for Jesus,
   telling others 'bout His love?
Have you read His Word He gave us,
   sent to others from above?

Have you let Him guide you always,
   down the bumpy roads of life?
Have you turned to Him in anger
  feeling sorrow, pain and strife?

Do you worship Him on one day,
   then you curse the very next?
Aren't you sure He's thought about it?
   I can bet you'd be perplexed!

Have you answered all these questions,
   without lying none at all?
Why not ask Him for forgiveness,
   or in sin your sure to fall!

He will always be here for us,
   so just call out His dear name;
If you'll give yourself all to Him,
   in His fold you will remain!

Once you give your life to Jesus,
   oh you'll feel much more alive;
And you'll know your name is written,
   in that Heavenly Book of Life!

Stowed away in a manger,
  what a lowly birth;
When My Jesus came here,
   with us to this earth.

He came as a human,
   just like you and me.
From a child to His death,
  mortal man was He!

He walked on the water,
   made the sick men well,
Made one loaf feed a thousand
  broke the devil's spell!

Gave the blind back their sight,
  raised the dead from the grave,
Made the lame men to walk,
  made the oceans behave !

He hung on that cross
   where He bled and He died.
Forgave all our sins
   when He was crucified!

He could have called Angels,
   ten million or more;
Instead paid the price
   for our sins that He bore!

Now think once again
   what we put Him through.
I thank Him each day,
   as I hope you do too!

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!

I've never known a love like His,
   not one place here on earth;
My God came down from Heavn' above,
   to lowly stable birth.

He walked this land to spread His love,
   fulfilled The Master's plan;
He died for us on Calvary,
   for every  mortal man!

If that's not love, I tell you now,
   the sun is naught but myth;
The ground you walk does not exist,
   there's no such thing as bliss!

If that's not love I'm here to say,
   no sparrow ever flies,
The oceans are but only dreams,
   the living never dies!

So take a look at this once more,
   you'll find God's love so true;
A love this big spans Heavn' to earth,
   for me as well for you!

Have you went
  to God in prayer,
And really wondered
  if He cared?

We surely know,
  His promise keep;
He'll lead and guide us
  when we seek!

Though often times,
  His answers small;
We sometimes even
  miss 'em all.

It's up to us
  to hear and listen,
So when He speaks
  we'll never miss Him!

For when you seek
  My Lord above,
He's there to bless,
  and show His love.

He sometimes answers
  so softly spoken,
But best believe,
  no promise broken!

There's other times,
  with thunderous roar,
He answers prayers,
  and so much more!

And then there's times,
  to show He cares;
He'll bless us with
  unanswered prayers;

'Cause My God knows,
  there's some requests,
His no reply
  will treat us best!

Right now I found what I've not had,
    just since I found my place;
It's holding her so close to me,
   to see my angel's face.

You see, she's saved me many times,
   once heartbroke and alone;
She's mended now that broken heart,
   to soften heart of stone.

She means much more than most to me,
   my angel from above;
A package sent from God Himself,
    for only me to love.

Now when it comes a long days end,
   to keep her safe from harm;
I wrap her up and reap the joy
   of Heaven in my arms!

I go through times near everyday
These moments that just when
I dream that day is finally here
To hold you once again!
It's not so long from now till then
It's just a bit more time
I'll be right there to wrap you in
These loving arms of mine!
So hold on tight just remain strong
My love is worth the wait
Just think ahead and plan it out
Let's both anticipate!
'Twill be so sweet when that time comes
Into these arms you'll run
I'll wrap you up and hold on tight
To forever be as one!
This love we share will last all life
Our bond still holding strong
Let's see it through till moment when
Our life on earth is done!!
I promise you I'll hold and keep
You always close to me
I'll show you I'm forever yours
To love you faithfully!

First ripples then waves
  that wash away sand;
The way that my loves grown,
   since taking your hand!

It started so simple,
   t'was only a kiss;
Yet broke free when I fell,
   and turned into this!

It's more than true love,
   yes, far more than that;
It's more like a mountain
   that started out flat!

It formed from a small thing,
   a soft spoken word;
With just an "I love you",
   but somehow absurd!

T'was nothing real massive,
   yet felt just so right;
When I fell in love
   with you at first sight!

There's times I feel I cannot live
A life without you here
It's times I feel I'm by myself
Alone - my biggest fear!
Without you here beside me now
I feel I can't go on
I now can see how this days come
I've lived my life all wrong!
I never realized what I had
I wished I'd given more,
It hit me quick that moment when
You walked right out that door!
You give me chance I'll make you proud
I'll two-step through my part
You hold on tight I'll rush right in
I'll waltz back in your heart!
It won't take long to prove to you
I learned from my mistakes
I'll focus on my one true love
All others I'll forsake!
So as I come with open arms
Don't leave me standing here
Just let me wrap you up for life
And show I love you dear!
I write these words to ask you now
Just give me one more chance
To hold you close to waltz with you
To have just one last dance!

I'm thankful for so many things,
   too many to list here;
But just a few that mean the most,
   the one's I hold so dear.

I'm thankful for my family,
   close loved ones and my friends;
Those ones who've helped me up at times,
   I'd felt I reached the end!

I'm thankful for my precious ones,
   my daughter and my son;
Both growing up to fine adults,
   amazing on their own!

I'm thankful for this time of year,
   feel bad for those who can't;
To make a list of all the things,
   each blessing to give thanks.

Now last of all I'm thankful for,
   the feeling of true love;
Forgiveness for each one of us,
   each blessing from above!

You ever feel that you're not loved,
  I hope that soon you'll see;
You're more than just a shining light,
  you're Heaven's gift to me!

You're brighter than the sun and moon,
  fresh breathe of springtime air;
Not one thing that God placed on earth,
  to you I'd dare compare!

A splash of salt with ocean wave,
  soft footprint in the sand;
You left your mark on this 'ole heart,
  slight touch of God's own Hand!

You're more than just a special girl,
  you're of the rarest breed;
With you , I now have found true love,
  the only thing I need!

Have you not been what you should be,
   as a husband, father and dad?
Have you not been any leader
   failing My God, oh so bad?

Have you said you will on one day,
   then the next you really won't?
Have you hurt the ones who love you,
   hanging with the ones who don't?

Have you pushed away your family
   with the hateful words you said?
Have you spoken words in anger,
   then run out the door and fled?

Have you seen the hurt you've caused them,
   had a son who wished you're there?
Have you once had to console her,
   when your daughter cried those tears?

Have you held her tight in loving arms,
   when wife had one bad day?
Have you crushed her heart again,
   'cause she knew you wouldn't stay?

Have you failed your son and daughter,
   with the sinful life you live?
Have you ever thought about just
   what your wife has had to give?

Have you opened up your eyes now,
   put your self aside to pause?
Have you felt their broken hearts from
   all the hurt and pain you caused?

Have you reached the very end now,
   of the sinful life you trod?
Have you seen your family needs you;
   not to late, just turn to God!

Have you asked My God forgiveness?
   Yes, the broken hearts He'll ease.
Have you shown them what He's done now,
   filled you full of joy and peace?

Have you gotten back your family,
   fought so hard for ones who care?
Have you prayed to God above you,
   for His love with them to share?

Have you called on Him to help you,
   your relationship repair?
Have you now seen it's important
   to your family if your there?

When I look into your gorgeous face
Your beauty all aglow
I see the love you have for me
You always let it show!
You're such a blessing in my life
A gift from Heaven to earth
You've shown me what true love's about
Just what my heart is worth!
I can't explain just how much love
I have for you my dear
I'll do my best to show you as
I'll hold you through the years!
I've never felt a love like this
A love like yours and mine
It's got to be agape' love
A love that most don't find!
I feel your love so close to me
In each and every way
I hear the love you speak to me
In everything you say!
You are so precious to me dear
A beauty out and in
You've stood by me through all life's race,
A race now we will win!
You'll always be my one true love
From now till very end
My precious jewel, my morning star
My lover and my friend!

Oh yes, we know there's times in life,
    when nothing seems so fair;
Those times when nothing else in life,
   can help us to prepare.

When those we love, pass on for good,
    they've gone to better place;
They're headed Home to Beulah Land,
   to claim their last estate.

Don't be so sad, they're happy now,
   in Heaven by and by;
They've got a home and so much more...
   a mansion in the sky.

They'll feel no pain, no sadness there,
   they'll shed not one more tear;
They'll never be alone again,
   and never live in fear!

You miss them so, it's not sunk in,
   though hard at times it seems;
You may not feel their touch again,
   but see them in your dreams!

Be glad they're gone to Heaven now,
   just make sure you're prepared,
To join them soon as your names called,
   to hold them when you're there!

My eyes behold a masterpiece, 
   each time I see your face;
My mind goes numb, with thoughts of you,
    my heart picks up its pace.

So beautiful you are to me,
   quite gorgeous out and in;
Since every time you cross my mind,
   I fall for you again.

Magnificient and magical, 
   an angel you must be;
You're Heaven sent by God Himself,
   a gift from Him to me!

So when you think some other way,
   or feel a twinge of doubt;
Remember this, my angel eyes,
   your beauty screams out loud.

You're beautiful, magnificient,
   more like a masterpiece;
A perfect blend of gorgeous face
   and precious inner peace.

Good morning to you beautiful
How was your sleep last night?
You've started off my day so good
Just being by my side!
As I lay right here and think about
The special times we've had
I thank you for the love you've shared
In good times and in bad!
My heart had always skipped a beat
Each time I see your face
With that first word you spoke to me
My heart had known it's place!
Although I may not show enough
Or often times it seems
I may not hold you high enough
As the woman of my dreams.
You make me happy everyday
Just with your special love
You've shown me oft that I'm the man
You're always dreaming of!
You fill my life with so much joy
And show me everyday
That My God made you just for me
In each and every way!
I feel these words can't show you just
How much I love you dear,
So let me hold you in my arms
And whisper in your ear-
"You're my queen of hearts, my gorgeous love,
The twinkle in my stars,
You're my one and only ******* earth,
My ALL is what you are!"

I met you not so long ago,
   you touched me from the start;
The first time that your eyes met mine,
   you softened this 'ole heart!

I thought I'd seen most everything,
   felt this 'ole mind was wise;
You blew my mind with just one glimpse,
   of Heaven in your eyes!

I know God has a plan for us,
   i hope you too can see;
My God Himself has sent your love,
   a gift from Him to me!

Not everyone can say they have,
   a gift from Heaven above;
But God saw fit to send me you,
   a package of true love!

I now can see so clearly now,
   More what your love is worth;
You're so far more than just a girl,
   my touch of Heaven on earth!

I'm looking for my one true love,
   a love to last life through;
I'm looking for that special one,
   a love I never knew!

I'm looking for a love to stand,
   all through the test of time;
A simple love that's beyond strong,
   a love that's strong as mine!

I'm looking for a love to last,
   all through my life to come;
A love so far above all loves,
   true love for only one!

I'm looking for a love that helps
   at times to lend a hand;
A love that never judges me,
   a love that understands!

I'm looking for a love so real,
   to always be the same;
A love to handle trials in life,
   not crumbling from the pain!

I'm looking for a love that's strong,
   it's weighed in tons and years;
A love that means far more than most,
   a love that never fears!

I now have found my special love,
   a love that's more than true;
A love that comes straight from the heart,
   this love I've found in you!!

No words could ever once describe,
   just what I'm going through;
Unbearable, despicable,
    this pain of losing you.

You've been a part of more than life,
   my one and only love;
Now looking down on me today
   from Heaven's gates above.

Although I miss you more right now,
   than ever once before;
I know we'll meet again real soon,
   just inside Heaven's door.

But as for now I'll bear the pain,
   of scars inside my heart;
An emptiness that can't be filled,
   so long as we're apart.

I've missed you bad for so long now
I've shed a many tear
Still looking for that special day
You'll calmly re-appear!
I never had a single doubt
When you became my wife
We'd be together for all time
Not be apart for life!
I'm ripped apart and broken now
I'm crumbling from the pain
My life without you by my side
Can't ever be the same!
I still have dreams you're with me here
You never walked away
But then I wake up by myself
To face another day!
I'm lost without you in my life
It's harder than it seems
What's harder than to live alone -
To live with shattered dreams!
I look for you near everyday
To walk back in the door
I still hold tight, so badly want
The love we had before!
I never knew what lonely was,
Now its my biggest fear
To live my life all by myself
So lost and lonely dear!

While standing just outside tonight,
   beneath the star lit sky;
I looked up just in time to see
   an angel soaring by.

I saw a flash of purest white,
  just east of planet mars;
Then watched her as she danced around,
  and jumped from star to star.

She sang me such a precious tune,
  while soaring wild and free;
Then showed me just how high she'd fly,
  so high I couldn't see!

She swooped right down to hug my neck,
  I held her oh so tight;
Then told her what this meant to me,
  if only for tonight!

She told me not to grieve no more,
  she'll always be my girl;
But now she's walking steets of gold,
  no longer this 'ole world!

We talked some more, spent precious time,
  just walking hand in hand;
When time was up, she blew a kiss,
  then soared to Beaulah Land!

I never will forget just when;
  to short as though it seems;
I held my daughter one more time,
  if only in my dreams!

My Lord and God I come to you,
   I'm down on bended knee;
To thank you for this girl you made
   formed perfectly for me.

You took Your time with me in mind,
   to make her oh so right;
A masterpiece of earthly love,
   pure gorgeous in my sight.

No soul on earth could love me more,
   no question I'm her man;
A precious gift You sent to me,
   perfection by Your Hands.

She may not be what others think,
   the perfect girl would be;
But thanks to You she's more than just
   a perfect fit for me!

It's all because My Saviour lives
I once was lost but now forgiven
When on that Cross He bore my sins
Then woke from dead now He is risen!
It's all because My Jesus saves
He reached in sin, loosed Satan's binds
He pulled me out the Devil's grip
So now I live by His design!
It's all because He can forgive
That now I've got a second chance
To walk with Him each night and day
No matter what the circumstance!
It's all because My God is there
To catch me every time I fall
He stood by me as sin I trod,
He'll stand by me at judgement call!
It's all because My Saviour bled
He washed away my every sin
He picked me up and rescued me
Now to live each day for Him!
It's all because My Jesus knows
Each weak or faltered step I take
He holds me up and strengthens me
As now I live for His Name's sake!
It's all because My Saviour cares
He's gone before, prepared my Home
My heart He's filled with so much joy
Just thinking 'bout that place I'll roam!
It's all because My Jesus loves
He leads me, guides us and forgives
He makes me want to shout and sing-
"It's ALL because MY SAVIOUR LIVES!"

Every morning as I wake up,
   I get on my knees to pray;
As I talk to God My Father,
   Never knowing what to say.

I have studied and I've listened,
   'bout so many types of prayer;
There is one thing never questioned,
   that My God is always there!

Yes, His door is always open,
   He will always lend an ear;
You will feel His presence with you,
   as you pray, He'll draw you near!

For He wants so bad to hold you,
   in His loving arms outstretched;
He will answer if you ask Him,
   and your life will be so blessed!

Oh He wants to hear from each one,
   of His sheep all in His flock;
You can bet you'll never miss Him,
   'cause He answers round the clock!

Don't you dare forget to praise Him,
   Our Almighty Faithful God;
For not one time in your life,
   has He ever you forgot!

If you'll open up all to Him,
   He will fill your last request;
If you don't know what to do at times,
   JUST ASK, He knows what's best!

I've heard it said, but now I feel,
   a heartfelt love so true;
A bigger love than some will find,
   this love 'twixt me and you.

It's made of deeds, no more just words,
   It comes straight from the heart;
To happen once in each our lives,
   and truly leaves it's mark.

It's up to us to make it last,
   to never let it die;
To set ablaze and fan the flames,
   without a reason why.

To feel this way could only mean,
   in life but just one thing;
You're all I'll want or ever need,
   since now I live my dreams!

As I watch you lying there,
   so lost in peaceful dreams;
I know I'm stuck on you,
   and know what true love means!

With nothing but your smile,
   you've broken down my walls;
As you've shattered my defense
   I had formed to never fall!

See I thought I had a plan,
   how to never love again;
Just to always duck and dodge,
   and love to never win!

All I gave you was a yard,
   but you know you took a mile;
With nothing but one look,
   of your oh-so-precious smile!

Since you came into my life,
   my heart now on the mend;
You've helped me live once more,
   proved you'll love me till the end!

Now I'll never live one day,
   without your love, my dear;
Since you've fully stole my heart,
   now in love I have no fear!

So as you open up your eyes,
   and you focus in on me;
Know it's for your perfect love,
   I'll forever thankful be!

I'd like to say a thing or two,
   and hope you will surmise;
You've far surpassed the dreams I had
   to take me by surprise!

I knew sometime I'd meet the one,
   My God had made for me,
But never thought I'd feel this love,
   true love to set me free!

I thought I'd felt real love before,
   until you left your mark;
Since reaping all you sow in me,
   I feel it in my heart!

I realize now what love can be,
   now everything feels right;
From stormy clouds to cloudless sky,
   my beacon in the night!

If I could make one word describe,
   how love has changed my ways;
I'd have to say with thankful heart,
   with you I'm still AMAZED!

As spring has now began to come,
   one moment not too soon;
As april showers fall in May,
   fresh flowers start to bloom;

The springtime breeze begins to blow,
   the scent of fresh cut grass;
The sunbeams seem more bright somehow,
   as winter's gloom now pass!

The browns fade out to brighter greens,
   birds chirping in the air;
This springtime glee's the only thing,
   I'd dare your love compare!

Without God's touch you'd  never find
  true happiness with me;
Yet blessed by Him with nature's touch
  such joy and love you'll see!

We both were formed by God above,
   not made by mortal man;
The love we share, not made by us,
   'twas formed by God's Own Hand!

I tell you 'bout this man I know,
   the strongest man on earth;
The richest man to live this life,
   his stock in Heaven's worth.

He lives his life to be the man,
   My God would have him be;
To stand for Christ and preach His Word,
    to sinners just like me.

He's not real tall, soft spoken sort,
   and yes, he lacks some hair;
But stands his ground when other's won't,
    so try him if you dare!

He stands for right to battle wrong,
   the Bible is his sword;
A superhero some may say,
   though I say he's much more.

He's good to mom, a loyal spouse,
   best friend one soul could have;
A Christian man, a Godly man,
   this man I call my dad!
