Time and Place

There was never a time
 or ever a place
When I wasn't effected
 with just a smile on her face,
Or when I was warmed
 by her loving embrace.
With her I feel God 
 and His eternal Grace
Like fruit from the vine-
 how sweet is the taste,
When finding the love of your life-
 then such is the case,
I finally got hold of a dream
 the was worth all the chase..
And, the memories we've made
 you could never erase,
For each day we grow stronger
 no matter the space.

So I guess here is the place 
 & now is the time,
To quit all my insanity
 & for once make up my mind ,
To grab hold this chance
 or get left behind.
See, this girl; she's one in a million,
 & she calls herself mine
Now my worlds looking up
 & I'm ready to climb,
But one slip of the foot
& I'm back in a bind-
Loosin' this treasure
 it took a lifetime to find!
Now, you can't place her value,
 cuz she's one of a kind
Just the thought of her love,
 & my eyes start to shine...
But, on the day when I must step from this place,
 cuz the Lord says it's time
To that small patch of dirt,
 where they'll lay me in pine.
I'll have only one wish,
 then be suited just fine
Lord please grant the years of our love,
 to live in rewind!
