I've prayed for many things as the years went by. Many of which I've never seen and I often wondered why. I wanted to live out west where life was a little more free. And after moving several times I came to rest in Tennessee. I dreamed of an eternity with that guy I knew in school. He strung me along, broke my heart. Lord, I felt like such a fool. I wished for flowing, golden hair and alabaster skin. Instead I have raven tresses and eyes as dark as sin. So I began to ponder the cruelty of it all. Was fate simply setting the stage intending to watch me fall? Then one day, just out of the blue, I looked across a crowded room. With one piercing glance from you my heart began to boom. Suddenly it all made sense and I knew that I'd been blessed. This loving man from Tennessee, I would have never met out west. He is nothing like the one I thought I loved way back when. In my heart of hearts I know I'll never be alone again. Golden locks and eyes of blue in his dreams will never be. For he longs to look into eyes as dark as a stormy sea. Though I did not understand why God wouldn't give me a sign. To this day I am so grateful He did it His instead of mine. --You can either take me as I am...or you can watch me as I go.-- |

Oh, Tennessee Angel.... This needs to go to the front of the pack! It has such a timeless message, and one that is so easily forgotten. We can't always see what lies at the end of the road, we just have to walk it in faith! Wonderful writing!! Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
