Dear God.....



Dear God,

I know it's been a while but I'd really like to say
I have a little request that I'm sending up your way.
I met a man I really love but now I'm so afraid.
'Cause every time I fall in love, you always take them away.
I know I'm being selfish, because you love them too
But this is one I'd like to keep, if it's o.k. with you.
Please watch over him and keep him close at heart
Please make sure that you provide no reason to depart.
If it's not a real big bother, I'd also like to request
To spend my life with him and have our lives be blessed.
I know I'm asking you to bend the rules and it's only for me
But since you've taken all the others, can't this one be set free?
He is a sweet and gentle soul, he's kind and he's smart
He's never stolen anything unless you count my heart.
He's brave and he's true, the most honest guy you'll meet
And I know that without him my life wouldn't be complete.
I know that what I'm asking for probably isn't fair
But I would really appreciate it if you would leave him here.
If you could find it in your heart to simply let us be
I know that I would be grateful for all eternity.
So that is all I ask, I won't bother you again
And with my request in front of you, I simply say Amen.
