Well Answered Prayer

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
