When you were just a tiny bud
I knew there was so much love!
We were 'bonded' so very close
With our "God" from Heaven above

As 'Father Time' passes us by
I made mistakes, it's very true
But, the very 'essence' of me,
Was to cherish,and love you!

I am tired and I am so weary
From the 'heartaches' that I feel
My 'soul' surely has taken its toll,
I cannot fight your 'strong will'!

I have tried many, many, times
To reach beyond your Soul!
You have hidden it so very deep
But, loving you is my goal!
