Heart
My father in the heights,
Please keep me in your sight
Cuz Parkinson's takes its toll
On mind, body, and soul.
I need someone to help me cope
Someone to feed me hope
Sweet words fall from his lips
Long after our courtship
His grin, his greatest charm,
My home is in his arms
I am safe in his embrace
My love, my ace
He has strong faith in you
He'll help my faith grow too
Together we'll pray each day
Then listen to what you say
Father, I hope you agree
This prayer, my honest plea
I trust you to find the right man
Please put my heart into his hands
