Lift me high, never let me fall
I've given you my all, and I mean my ALL;
Protect, treasure, love me
It's not too much to ask, don't you agree?

While the days past were bleak and sad
I'd like to think life will be better, at least a tad;
When you shine a light on my path
This road I travel on surely not as rough.

A kindred spirit that's what you are
Surprisingly, I didn't even have to look far;
All these years widely I searched
And the many times prayed at the church.

In my mind, there are ideals to check
Intellectual, handsome, buff and a fat paycheck;
Only to realize all that matters is a pure heart
Someone who would give me a push start.
