Someone told me

A long time ago

Not to give up

Not to let you go

Well for a while

It was hard to believe

That there was a chance

A chance you would

Come back to me

So I said my prayers

And kept thinking

About you

And God in His infinite

Saw fit to come through

So now you're here with me

And those who doubted

They said I couldn't change

That we couldn't be

They didn't see our love

They didn't see what we could see

But the one thing I know

And I think you'll agree

That I was meant for you

And you were meant for me

Robert Steward

As I sift through my poetry there is at least 30 poems written for Maddie, this is one of them.
