The way i care for you

[jingates]

I will spend the rest
of forever
asking God to
bring you happy days
and less heartache.
i will pray he gives you
the direction, you've
sought after
and the strong voice
you practice.
but most of all i will ask him
to bring you a woman
who is kinder
more considerate
more careful
and prettier than me.
a woman who will ask you
about the girl
you loved before*
a woman you can
honestly look in the eyes
and tell,
she was nothing
compared to you
(this is the way i care for you)
