One Favor

You've lived within my sweetest dreams,
your voice, your smell, your stare.
And on the night an angel spoke,
I found you standing there.

Kindness, truth, a hint of love
betrayed within a glance.
As if I was still dreaming,
I prayed for just one chance.

For all the struggles I endured;
the wrongs I tried to right.
I always knew I'd walk through hell
to find you on that night.

And there you were - just smiling,
aglow with peace and love;
the answer to my every wish
I'd sent to God above.

I dare not ask for one more thing
from God - He's done His part.
From you, I beg one favor:
Please take care of my heart.
