I wrote a letter to God today
He lovingly asked
My child, “what does your heart say?"

I responded with a one page list
Of what I’ve been longing for
Of what it was I’ve missed

There were wishes of physical traits
And some manly attributes
But it was so much more than just
Looking for “the cutes”

Someone with a warm heart
And such a tender soul
“Don’t stop now child”, God smiled
“You’re on a roll”

He needs to love himself first
Filled with gratitude and love
‘Till it overflows out of his heart
And into that of others
Especially the one who fits him so perfectly
Just like a glove

Now my letter’s been answered
My prayers have come true
For it is because, my sweetheart
God brought me to you.
