Our Diamond In the Rough

I think we have an advantage to, “Diamond in the rough” Because sweetheart you and I have been through some stuff We were just like, “Bonnie & Clyde” both of us on the run Running fast, kicking ass, we were forever staying spun Then came all the years we were separated and apart As the cutter started forming each of our Diamond hearts Through all the pain we each did what we had to do I guess it was then that the facets of us truly grew Sometimes to hold a Diamond we must learn to let it go If it is truly meant to be the Lord will rejoin your souls Our love was like a Diamond that sprouted from a seed A Diamond in the Rough with a lot of cutting we would need Today we look upon each other the diamonds on our rings Funny how two Souls so lost can become such a special thing The thing that makes us so special, that makes us so right Giving each other what we need is truly our hearts delight You make me weak as well as strong; enough to stay and fight I make you strong as well as weak; to me you’re out of sight As far as all the Priceless Diamonds other Gems and stuff I wouldn’t trade our love for any Diamond, cut or in the rough Written to my Wife for the contest Nathan is Sponsoring, God Bless
