Heaven and Earth

she was a gem, a princess
living in a castle, lavish
I was a poor lad, worthless

porcelain skin, soft as silk
glimpse of her face makes me weak
one look from her, all it took

heaven has sided with a poor lad
goddess from her pedestal descended
able to see where she has landed

her overwhelming grace stunned me
she smiled, the sweetest I've seen
made me think more, am I worthy?

took me forever, to hold her hand
oblivious I almost trip on the sand
all changed, when she said I'm her man

Heaven needs Earth to know its worth
and even gods and goddesses need a cohort
