You made me fall in love with you, just like a puppy would!
You charmed my heart with words so true and sentiments so good…
You nestled close next to my ears and whispered tenderly,
You treasure chest of smiles and tears, you winsome poetry!

You took me in, with words that rhyme, with upbeat beats as well…
You made me walk your themes sublime, your story lines to tell…
You tugged on heartstrings deep within, you caught me unawares…
You held me tight, you made me grin, you melted all my cares!

You challenged me to think again, to reason and discuss…
You guided me towards great men and even to Jesus…
You gave my soul a second chance, you taught me how to pray…
You even made me stand and dance and praise God every day!

I love you dearly, yes, indeed… I praise God you exist…
Somehow you answered every need… so how could I resist!?
