Though half my age in years she be
my inner age she made me see.
I held back most of what I felt
yet her love made walls begin to melt

In her innocence she could not know
how my heart could resist that glow
She struggled so hard to bring me out
kept getting up after every bout

I never wanted for her to cry
never thought she'd say goodbye
but time was not to be a friend
it almost brought us to the end

Through God's grace there may be hope
for one so wonderful and a dope
and though I now seem just a friend
her heart and soul I strive to mend

'Though half my age in years she be
my inner age she made me see'

'though I now seem just a friend
her heart and soul I strive to mend'

Seems to me that you're no dope ...
'Through God's grace there may be hope'

I like the sincerity of the verse.
