font-family: Alice;\"> All the diamonds in the land couldn&#8217;t catch the sparkle in your eyes,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Encircle the hazel with the most beautiful of blue from God&#8217;s skies,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Catch rainbows in your mind&#8217;s eye to locate colors that need to be,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> That you may understand how her angelic eyes have captured me,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Kisses from my angel are enough to make this man&#8217;s knees weak,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> The sweetness held inside could make men love her within a week,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> If other men knew her as I do then she would have no need for me,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> So many suitors would gather round in hopes she would pick he,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> If only I could build a garden to celebrate who she is to all she knows,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Master&#8217;s hands would sculpt statues that her beautiful image shows,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> I&#8217;d place these beautiful statues amongst flowers of beauty that grow,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> To be a memorial to the most beautiful woman I will ever love or know,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Ahead of all would be the man that worships her as no other could,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> So proud I am that I am the man that worships her as only I would,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> I have flown the skies powered on high by her kiss placed on me,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> My heart took flight with me in tow lifting me high that I may see,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> I have seen the gates of heaven given me as a gift from loving her,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> I am the richest man in the universe though I have no riches to offer,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Yet I am rich of heart with more golden memories than I do deserve,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> She has taken this lowly servant as her guardian and I happily serve,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Around the garden are oaks with majestic branches reaching high,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Mountains with snow capped peaks rise in the horizon meeting sky,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Hear the creek softly flow with water so pure it cleanses your being,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> My angel belongs here in this garden that we as visitors are seeing,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Fruits of delight favored by her would grow for her around the year,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> The beauty of heavens gardens were watered by a love given tear,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> So many tears of love I gave to mother earth and now placed here,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Loving you sweet Patti is inscribed into my heart to have you near,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> The photo of my angel that I carried near my heart for so very long,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Placed perfectly at the entrance surrounded by beautiful birds in song,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> A path of golden stone would lead the way through this garden for her,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> The sad part of this rhyme is that a dream and a rose is all I can offer,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> So much joy given me that has made suffering pain an easy thing to do,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> You&#8217;re the only angel I&#8217;ve loved, I would do most anything to please you,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> Take my heart, it&#8217;s inscribed with your name so it&#8217;s never stolen or lost,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; font-family: Alice;\"> I am the richest man in the world please know it was worth any cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;
