My Heart is Yours

You have given me chances
I may not have deserved
But because you have
I am here
Life is too short
To let the good things slip away
You said wait for you
To give me your heart
You are more worthy than you believe
You have taken my faults
And accepted me
For that I give you my most precious gift
My heart is yours
I am taking the risk
And giving you all of my love
I am not perfect
And I will make mistakes
But I promise
If you give me a chance
I will love you with all I have
Respect you with great discernment
And care for you like you need
I love you because of who you are
I respect you because of how you are
Take my love and wrap yourself
In joy and contentment
I pledge to stand by you
To walk with you
To build a life worth having with you
To grow old with you
You are a gift from God
And I thank him for you
I didn’t know that I was drowning
Until you handed me a life jacket
I didn’t know that I was lost
Until you gave me a map
Take my heart
And do with it what you will
I am no longer afraid
