TONIGHT AND FOREVER MORE
(written by Gail Batton - 2/27/98 - Fri)
I lay upon my bed in the still and dark
of the night all alone
Smiles burst upon my face from the
overflow of my heart
Just thinking about one special man
More treasured than all the jewels in heaven
He loves me as no man ever has or ever will
Protecting me and loving me
Guiding me and pleasing me
He has taken the very finger of God
And engraved the word of love upon my heart for him
When I am frightened just his voice
calms my trembling frame
When I am wrong he talks very straight with me
Yet soothes my heart after each sharp blow
When I am soaring with life's high
He tugs on my string and pulls the kite home
When I feel ugly he speaks of my beauty
When I am lost in the Spirit of God
I feel that he is beaming with great pride in me
This man is beautiful to me
So holy yet so funny too
So stern and yet so understanding
So limited and yet so generous
So mature and yet at times a small little boy
So strong and yet so vulnerable too
This man took upon him what none other would do
He took me into his heart and his life
This man took upon him a title -
and all that it entails
This man is simply and wondrously you -
my Daddy - I love
you so..
