The Jewel of Long Lasting Love
©2006, Basil Sands
The other children were nearly grown
When along came the wondrous surprise
A beautiful baby girl
Kooing softly in her fathers arms
She was a new jewel in the crown
Of a love that lasted so long
Time itself cannot erase
The evidence of the greatest thing
That any man could hope for
A sign never ending strength
That jewel to wear upon the crown
Of a love that lasted so long
As she walks the streets of lifes great dawn
This daughter of eternal passion
She shines in the world
Like a radiant sun
A testament to the power of love
Her sparkling eyes
And brilliant smile
Give light to that which will never die
Like a sparkling pink jewel
In settings of gold
Is this woman
The proof of love
A love that lasted so long
