Since the first day we met
I knew there was something
I didn�t know what it was
But it was quite different
We didn�t talk much then
Due to situations in our lives
Looking back over the months
And the moments we did talk
I have to say to you
That I cared ever since we met
Now, I can see that it was good
For us to take our time
One day I decided to really try to talk
And found you in need of prayer
I prayed as much as possible
Continuing to keep in touch
Days later I found myself
In a situation that was unexpected
I prayed and tried to fight it
The more I tried, the more I failed
I finally decided to give it to God
Letting Him work, I came to learn
That we need each other more than expected
We grow together every day in Christ
The Lord has shown me that you are the One
I will live the rest of my life
Loving you with everything that�s in me
You are my future, my love, my Godsend
The rest of my life will be spent with you
My love, God has shown me the love
The love you have for me
I pray you see my love for you
I give you my heart, my all
For I love you always and forever
May we live in love and happiness
Together, for the rest of our lives.

Training to be the best
The best at everything I do
In school, in sports, in life
Not so much with others
But mostly for myself
Being the best that I can be
Racing isn�t just physically running
Life consists of all types of races
With all the standards that are set
Many changes are being made
We have to work hard
But in the midst of it all, be yourself
According to everyone
Competition is all about building a name
"Fighting" for the top spot
And sometimes cheating to get ahead
But if one honestly works hard
They will find themselves higher
Competition is in everything
In school, in sports, in life
Making the best of everything
In all that is done
Once you�ve reached the end
Look back and smile
Keep up the good work
Don�t lose track of your goal
Stay focused and relaxed
Hurdles will come and make it harder
But in the end, smile
For you have accomplished the greatest race called life

Every time I talk to you
There�s a word inside
I don�t know what it is
I know it�s there
And it�s perfect
How I feel about you
How much I care
And how much I love you
You mean so much to me
And maybe all I can say
Are the simple words
Simple words with a great meaning
I pray that you can tell
Exactly how I feel
How much you mean to me
You are the greatest person I know
And I love you
That�s the word
The words inside
I do know what it is
And I say it with the greatest meaning
I love you

This is honestly
The first time
I�ve been truly happy
I�ve realized
What God wants for me
For the time being
I�ve finally accepted it all
I�ve realized that
It�s not for me
But for Him
I�ve never been
So happy before
God has blessed me
With you
I have everything that I need
Ever since I put God first
I�ve been happy
You have inspired me
To move closer to Him
God put you in my life
For that reason
And because of that
I�m happy
