Light As a Feather
God granted me my most ardent prayer
I couldn't have hoped for anything more.
The sun spun golden glints in auburn hair
to crown an angel's face that I adore.
When we met, I knew we'd be together
my heart was racing and wouldn't slow down.
And I felt giddy, light as a feather,
like my team won... and I scored the touchdown!
Through the years, skin wrinkles and hair fads grey
and yet, beauty is filtered through the heart.
And the love we share sustains us each day
only death can ever force us apart.
Love means much more than wanting to be there,
it's a lifelong commitment two hearts share.
