Baby, i thought of you
durin' my break last night.

I sat outside lookin' up towards Gods window
admirin' the stars that resembled tiny diamonds
and the glow of the full moon
that filled his heavenly sky,
she was a beautiful sight

various thoughts ran through my mind,
thoughts of all the joys and challenges
since you touched my life

i worked so hard to kept my stare steady
without blinkin' a lash
upon that darkened but glittery sky,

so i wouldn't miss and follow a shooting star.
with my heart

oh, when i finally saw
the first one of the night
It amazed me so.

for some reason,
that shooting star caused me to ponder
my inherent love for you
i was waitin' to make my wish
as I thought of all the dreams
that already came to be

so i didn't spend that wish on me
instead i wished it to go
where ever the need should be
in the breeze it went towards it's destiny
in a life that needs that love
as i already had your love within and waitin' for me

I spent the early part of the mornin'
in a glowing state of realization,
believing In this love that you had given to me
no matter what my circumstances
and how you had become to lovin' me

The possibility of a second chance for me.
scared me
but i figured God
knows whats best
he sees my heart and he must like
what he sees inside of me

My life had shifted focus for a while,
but I never completely lost sight
of my dreams ,my hopes
my desires nor my purpose.

at one point I wasn't quite ready
or as i thought not deservin'
to claim such a gift of such a dream
The years I've spent as a single mother
have taught me to be resilient,
even though
facin' life realistically
was a great challenge for me
many times i fell to my knees
and felt like a failure
yet God lifted me up as he carried me through

God gave me the strength to forge ahead,
no matter what.
for awhile i lost that point
and well here i am, once again,
feelin' lost empty and lonely
and today he has brought me straight to you
to take care of me
God made me believe in the rewards
that await for me through my patience
oh and believe me

it is so difficult
to embrace those thoughts at times
as never before have i
or any one else before me for that matter
ever had to wait and sit patiently

unless they were waitin'
for their spouse to return from battle
i sit and wait
for you my soul mate that i haven't meet
yes sometimes i make it difficult to understand

with the breath of God in my heart
i believe in your words
as much as you believe in me
yet i admit i seek higher counsel
to help me touch reality

he knows the weakness of my heart
he would never send me someone
to say or do anyhing to hurt me
he knows that it cain easily shatter and bleed

he knows I await the sound
of mail droppin' through the slot on my door
or as the butler says " you have mail madame"
even a phone message fom you brings me so much joy

now i know better
when God whispers to me
he's lettin' me know that you and him are
within my hearts reach.
