Forever his angel

I was just a little girl in a small-town pew,

Dressed in white with a golden view.

He was a boy with a crooked smile,

Didn’t know then, but I’d love him all my life.

Years went by, he moved away,

But my heart never left the place he stayed.

Then one spring, he came back down,

And I knew right then—I was home somehow.

He still calls me Angel, like he did back then,

Through the miles, through the years, through thick and thin.

From a long-distance love to a life so true,

Now I’m sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ our babies with you.

Fifteen years and a love so strong,

Some days were easy, some days felt long.

But he’s the laugh in my quiet world,

My steady, wild, forever boy.

I’m the shy one, he’s the light,

He makes me blush, makes wrong feel right.

But the best thing he’s ever been,

Is a daddy to our little ones, time and time again.

He still calls me Angel, like he did back then,

Through the miles, through the years, through thick and thin.

From a long-distance love to a life so true,

Now I’m sittin’ on the porch, watchin’ our babies with you.

God knew what I needed before I could see,

He gave me a man who leads faithfully.

Through every high, through every fall,

I thank the Lord he gave me it all.

So here we are, hand in hand,

With little footprints in Carolina sand.

I whisper a prayer every night so true,

Thank You, Lord, for my home, my heart, and the man I love too.
