The time has come when My Angel I can see.
I see the Angel, God has created for me.
My Angel, I find not the words to say to you,
For I have never seen anything as beautiful as you.
I see you with the loving kiss of God on your face.
I see you walk with so much elegance and grace.
I see the fingers that on His golden harp have played.
I see the love in your heart that He has laid.
I see a softness of your lips waiting to be kissed.
I see the kindness and caring that I missed.
I see the happiness upon your pretty face.
I see your dress of white satin and lace.
I see the twinkles of love in your sparkling eyes.
I see your chest breathing and I hear your sighs.
I see your hair shining in the bright sunlight.
I see your skin is so soft, pure, and white.
I see before me a man's dream come true.
I see a Angel that for her anything I will do.
I see an Angel to be with me throughout Eternity.
I see now that there was an Angel out there for me.
I see that God created the perfect Angel for me.
I see that God had never given up on someone like me.
How do you write a love letter to an Angel from God?
I toss this question over day after day, and night after night, in my head. I pray that when the day comes, that God will not fail me and that He will give me the words to the greatest love story ever written, just for her. He has blessed me with all of these other personal writings to share with everyone. I hope, that I have not failed Him with them and that they were what he wanted me to write for everyone. I hope, that when He brings my Angel fully into my life, He will give me the perfect words to write for my Angel. I hope the words He gives me will tell her of the purest, the truest, non-imaginable, and a never ending love for her, that I have inside of my heart for her.
Will the "Love Letter" be words written or will it be the actions of my heart that will tell the real story? Will she see the "Love Letter" unfold before her by just looking into my eyes? Will she know the words of my "Love Letter" even if I never speak a word of it to her?
I think God will put "Love Letters" in my heart and her heart both, so that we can give them to each other!
I can't wait for the day when I can tell her the simple phrase, "I love you." and she will understand that it will never tell her how much I really will!
My Angel, if you are out there and you read this, it is only the beginning of my "Love Story" to you!

Note: This is something that has been troubling my head and my heart for a long time since my writing of "Somewhere is an Angel". I felt that I had to write something about it because it came up in a conversation with a friend of mine lately. I struggled with writing this, because this is from my heart and was not given to me like one of my other writings. I had to write it for a reason and now it is here, for her to read, and when she sees it, she will know I am waiting to share my "Love Letter" with her!

It is Christmas Eve out here on the ranch.
I even have snow on my Pecan tree branch!
It has been many Christmas Days since we have had snow,
And this year, we are having a White Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!
I cooked a big turkey outside in my deep fryer.
I started the fireplace with a big, beautiful fire!
The ham is sliced and ready to serve.
This cooking has gotten on my last nerve!
It ain't much what I took time to fix to eat,
And there aren't very many goodies or treats.
It is just a simple Christmas time for me you see.
I did not even put up a little Christmas tree.
The presents have their labels for all to see:
"To you, for Christmas, from your Daddy."
You spend many months finding gifts galore.
And as usual, it is over in twenty minutes or more!
I will get to see the happy look in Grayson's eyes,
As he gets to see his Grandpa's Christmas surprise!
The kids have opened and seen their new Christmas "stash"!
Last thing to do now is pick up all of the paper trash!
It is late and the kids will load up and head on their way,
Me? I going to bed and sleep the rest of the night away!
It was a time of gift sharing and holiday cheer,
And to think, dang it, I have to do it over again, next year!
Ha Ha Ha.... I mean Ho Ho Ho!
I wish you all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! (2004)
