As I looked upon your tiny delicate face
pressed my lips gently against your cheek

Tickled your chin you looked up and smiled
at that moment I knew God had stormed heaven

Sought for me one of his most precious rosebuds
as weeks has turned to months then to years

my first impression of you was correct
Do you remember that terrible accident long ago

Bodies thrown upon the highway, blood flowing
the smell of death was everywhere

Out of all this chaos you stood up, walked away

THE ONLY SURVIVOR

I know in my heart of hearts, GOD looked down
and thought, I must protect my rosebud from harm

When the phone call came my heart exploded
Then a voice said, Leah is safe
I am eternally grateful for you

You have become my mainstay
My true friend, my daughter my fist love.
