My Gift From Heaven

“My Gift from Heaven” by: Eric L. Boddie On my quest for love I asked God to be my guide And He led me to you So only death could keep me from your side You see, no matter what I’m doing The simple thought of you I don’t know how it does it But it always breaks through And it is always the same I’m surrounded by fruits and vegetables And in the distance you appear Suspended upon a pedestal Just as Adam was alone in the Garden And his rib, God did take But in return, He gave to Adam The gift of Heaven, a soul mate And just as He gave Eve to Adam You are His gift to me You are the light that brightens my soul For you are the most beauty my eyes can see
