Staying Power
Let me tell you about a man
Who wasn't just passing through
He arrived on scene with a plan
Who planted a seed and love grew
He says he knew in just one look
There she was, his forever
One smile, one laugh is all it took
His greatest adventure, greatest endeavor
He saw her for all that she was
Her soul, the beauty and the pain
He didn't run like everyone else does
A rollercoaster, she was no plain jane
Loving and warm
She seemed so free
But guarded and torn
Life had made her to be
Walls had been built around her heart
Safety from those that leave
Death has came for her since the start
Too many times, she'd grieve
Brick by brick he tore them down
Proved time and time again
He planned to stick around
Determined her heart, he'd win
Through the ups and downs
He loved her just the same
Unconditionally, no bounds
By her side, her love he'd claim
Laughs and tears, through it all
He never waivered, turned an eye
There he was for the long haul
He held her world up, high
How lucky was she, that girl
To find a guy so patient and pure
Who'd change her life with one twirl
So resilient, determined and sure
He arrived on scene with a plan
Love her every minute of every hour
Let me tell you about a man
Who proved he had the staying power
