There are many secrets locked in my heart
only she has the key
she sees beyond my frayed edges
she loves me
despite my ragamuffin soul
the only sadness
are the moments apart
and the anticipation of her return
With a practical heart
& compassion that doesn't end
the queen of my heart
draws me in like a love sick pup
With her my inspiration cannot fade
led by the Spirit and molded by the Father
she taught me how to pray
drawing us ever closer
Focused on the love of Jesus
at the center of our bond
my pride evaporates
at the sound of her gentle tones
it is a love that does not end
rooted deep by the love of the Lamb
