there once was a girl

There once was a girl who said all the wrong yeses and all the wrong nos,                
she was one who was worse than her foes.                                                                

She had a heart that was tender and mind that went deep,                                          
but she wanted a man who her soul he would keep.                                                

She was liked by some and loved by a few,                                                                         
still she lay at night wondering what she should do. 

Keep searching, keep searching, keep searching she thought,                                      
but she never quite found what her heart truly sought.                

After looking and looking she settled on some,                                                                  
but she continued to look when she realized we’re done.                                     

Then finally she met One unique from the rest,                                            
she noticed He was concerned with her best.         

She followed whole-hearted and loved all that He showed her,                                    
like He was enough, her looking was over. 

How closely they walked while His truth He revealed,                                                    
she was overjoyed that her soul He now healed.                                                             

One day, to her surprise, He brought a new man to her path, 
but all she noticed was his dirty blue hat.    
                                                     
She looked closer to find a heart unexpected,                                      
that he too loved this God they both once neglected.

She was thrilled that his heart had met the One too,                                        
and now she knew exactly what to do:

Fall in love, fall in love, fall in love they did do,                                                                 
they both loved the One but now each other too.  

Days turned to months and months turned to years,                                                               
they laughed many laughs and cried many tears.

They had three children, three beautiful boys,
they dreamed and they lived and shared in many joys. 

Their life together could not have been more,                                                   
but then it was time to knock on His door. 

And though their love-long days had come to an end,                                                   
they knew they would see their One, Truest Friend.

Come in, come in, come in to My home,                                                                              
I’m thrilled to welcome you two with my song. 

They hugged and they danced and they sang for forever,                                           
they were finally home, at last, together.
