My Heart
You grip my hands as they begin to shake,
With tears in your eyes, Sweetheart, everything will be ok,
I gave you grandma's butterfly and you held it in your hand,
So you could look at it everyday until Jesus takes you home again,
I can't thank you enough for all the love you gave,
For everything you sacrificed, I thanked you over and over again,
The only man on this earth I respected the most,
You always gave, never complained, not once did you boast,
You were the example of Gods love to me everyday,
Peeking through the door i watched you on your knees to pray,
You hold a place in my heart no man could fill,
You gave me peace and security, your heart was so real,
I paused at the door, I can't bear to watch you leave,
What will I do without you, my heart can't breathe,
