Then one dark and lonely night
In front of me you did place
The form of a spirit
Without showing me his face.

He came out of nowhere
And sat by my fire
As the minutes became hours
My heart filled with desire.

His spirit was gentle
His heart was so kind.
As time past
I prayed he'd be mine.

He's so very different
From all that I've known
When I am with him
I finally feel at home.

I don't wish to own him
Or to change his ways
Only to love and cherish him
For the rest of my days.

So thank you Grandfather
For showing me the path
And letting me know
True love at last.
