It is the Good Life

It is the Good Life
when you’re here,
Close by me.
When my life looks like
what my cat coughed up
on the carpet this morning,
You tell me I inspire you
I can’t see it,
Or maybe just won’t.
Girl, I wish everyone had one of you.
We wouldn’t need faith
to move a mountain,
We would have enough to
move two.
I am a supernova
Among a desert of nebular stardust
When you smile
Or I hear your laugh,
Don’t loose them because
Some lonely soul like me
might be lost at sea
And need an echo or an image
of Daddy to get through the night,
The silent night.
Only cry to ease the pain
Because you have a
bright blur that eclipses the sun.
Always think opportunity
Imagine what you can do.
You will make it through,
And change the world I know
Because you have
changed me.
I have faith in you because
you have faith in Him.
It is selfish for me
to love you because I
want something.
So I will love you
by giving me.
