Overlooking a Brook With a Spectacular Look

My house up on the hill overlooking the brook 
With a spectacular look  
He will appreciate what awaits 
On the other side of the gate
My little angel thinks our house is the first-rate 
That it was our fate that brought us to this special place 
To begin our life free of sin as we can hardly contain are grin 
To stop and take it all in
  
Between the view and what I have shared with you
It's clear to see why this makes us so happy to see
The way our love has grown up to be  
The most beautiful place for me 
Is a home full of love, and respect 
That affects all the beautiful things going off inside of me
 
To ask God for any more would undermine this awesome score 
When in the beginning we were so poor  
The only way I will ever leave 
Is when God takes my last breath from me  
We have weaved our story in all of God’s glory 
Because of the choices, we made long ago
 
This is why we both know our love will grow strong enough to last
The woods are what makes all of this so special wild and free    
Miles of memories that we made along the way  
We will never let them fade away
As we pray to God and thank Him for such a heavenly place

Where you can see the angels play on any given day  
I just hope that God picked out a spectacular view 
From upon a hill overlooking a brook with that spectacular look  
That we have come to know
All things are possible when you have the right flow
We come to know God who will save our soul

Caren Krutsinger Date: 5/7/2018 9:33:00 AM I like this line in particular: My little angel thinks our house is the first-rate That it was our fate that brought us to this special place because when we climbed a fence to look at some property, both my husband and I turned at the same time and said, "we have found our place."

Thank you for sharing that with me as a poet you know it's one of the few things we receive for sharing with others take care.
