Erick

Do you remember our first date at Shiloh's?

Sharing a meal as the evening shadows close.

Then we were dancing out by the pavilion,

I saw a heart that was caring and brilliant.

You took the lead with a gentle grace,

And I found my home in the smile on your face.

Erick, you're my angel on earth,

God's earthly gift, and you show me my worth.

When you hold me close, all my wandering will cease,

We melt into one like a fitted puzzle piece.

I may not be the first love of your past,

But darling, I just want to be your last.

Sitting together with the pages wide open,

Discussing God's word and the promises spoken.

I love how you're smart, how you nurture my soul,

A faithful provider who makes me feel whole.

You're patient and kind when the days feel too long,

With you by my side, I am steady and strong.

Erick, you're my angel on earth,

God's earthly gift, and you show me my worth.

When you hold me close, all my wandering will cease,

We melt into one like a fitted puzzle piece.

I may not be the first love of your past,

But darling, I just want to be your last.

Up on Pine Mountain, we escape from the noise,

Just breathing the air and the peace we enjoy.

Every memory we make is unforgettable and true,

I see the Lord's love when I'm looking at you.

You are the leader I'm proud to stand near,

A comforting hand wiping every single tear.

I look at the life and the love that we've made,

And I know that this feeling is never gonna fade.

Erick, you're my angel on earth,

God's earthly gift, and you show me my worth.

When you hold me close, all my wandering will cease,

We melt into one like a fitted puzzle piece.

I may not be the first love of your past,

But I love you, Erick, and I'm gonna be your last.
