Answered Prayer

Sitting here

with stars in my eyes,

thinking a thousand

thoughts of you.



Quietly wondering,

then I realize -

what I did

to deserve you.



I think the thing

that I did right

was ask for you

in prayer.



Before I slept

most every night,

God assured me

you were out there.



Now here you are

all in my heart,

a treasure

for me to keep.



And now I know

the sweetest part

is Singing you

to sleep.
