"A Dream Come True"

A life I've lived for so long

Is about to come to an end
Days of happiness were there, indeed
Yet, so was loneliness at day's end

Never will I feel cheated

By the path I've chosen to follow
For, it was His hand that led me to this
As He led me through nature's hollows

Along untrammeled paths I've walked

In the life I've always known
Yet, never have I had a reason for change
Until your love for me was shown

In the back of my dream-filled mind

You've always been alive and well
Throughout my life I've awaited you, princess
And this peaceful feeling, as well

I have never before looked to the future

I've never had a reason to
Yet, now it holds a place in my mind
A meaningful future with you

Recurring daydreams from when I was a boy

Have slowly entered my mind
Of finding a best friend
Who could also be my valentine

No matter where He sends me

No matter what He asks
Never will I fall short of His will
For His gift of you in my life
Is a dream come true from the past
