All the diamonds in the land couldn’t catch the sparkle in your eyes,

Encircle the hazel with the most beautiful of blue from God’s skies,

Catch rainbows in your mind’s eye to locate colors that need to be,

That you may understand how her angelic eyes have captured me,

Kisses from my angel are enough to make this man’s knees weak,

The sweetness held inside could make men love her within a week,

If other men knew her as I do then she would have no need for me,

So many suitors would gather round in hopes she would pick he,

If only I could build a garden to celebrate who she is to all she knows,

Master’s hands would sculpt statues that her beautiful image shows,

I’d place these beautiful statues amongst flowers of beauty that grow,

To be a memorial to the most beautiful woman I will ever love or know,

Ahead of all would be the man that worships her as no other could,

So proud I am that I am the man that worships her as only I would,

I have flown the skies powered on high by her kiss placed on me,

My heart took flight with me in tow lifting me high that I may see,

I have seen the gates of heaven given me as a gift from loving her,

I am the richest man in the universe though I have no riches to offer,

Yet I am rich of heart with more golden memories than I do deserve,

She has taken this lowly servant as her guardian and I happily serve,

Around the garden are oaks with majestic branches reaching high,

Mountains with snow capped peaks rise in the horizon meeting sky,

Hear the creek softly flow with water so pure it cleanses your being,

My angel belongs here in this garden that we as visitors are seeing,

Fruits of delight favored by her would grow for her around the year,

The beauty of heavens gardens were watered by a love given tear,

So many tears of love I gave to mother earth and now placed here,

Loving you sweet Patti is inscribed into my heart to have you near,

The photo of my angel that I carried near my heart for so very long,

Placed perfectly at the entrance surrounded by beautiful birds in song,

A path of golden stone would lead the way through this garden for her,

The sad part of this rhyme is that a dream and a rose is all I can offer,

So much joy given me that has made suffering pain an easy thing to do,

You’re the only angel I’ve loved, I would do most anything to please you,

Take my heart, it’s inscribed with your name so it’s never stolen or lost,

I am the richest man in the world please know it was worth any cost.

The end, by Pat for Patti
