Well Answered Prayer
©2012jackderemiah
v
As you look in the mirror, I’m watching your face
And I see the sadness you feel
As you wish for the youth that you could replace
Or to slow down the spin of the wheel
v
You catch me looking and cover your eyes
And ask me to please turn away
But my precious darling, you must realize
That I love you more every day
c
My love………,
I don’t care……..,
About lines, or the grey in your hair
I know………,
Nothing’s fair……..,
But I need you to know,
That it’s not just for show,
And you are my well answered prayer
v
Each quiet morning, as coffee is cooled
And sleepiness hangs in your eyes
I smile from my heart, but you say you’re not fooled
And you wonder if pity brings lies
v
What can I say to you, what will it take
To show what I’m unworthy of
And each time I touched you, was a drop in the lake
That grew to an ocean of love
c
My love………,
I don’t care……..,
We’ve earned every flaw that we wear
You say………,
It’s not fair……..,
But I treasure the grace,
In your beautiful face,
And you are my well answered prayer
You are my well answered prayer
