Heaven Is The Face....Happy 2nd Gotcha Day Sophie

 Heaven is the face of a little girl
With dark brown eyes 
That disappear when she smiles.

Heaven is the place
Where she calls my name says, "daddy please come play with me for awhile."  
God, I know, it's all of this and so much more
But God, you know that this is what I'm aching for God, You know I just can't see beyond the door

So right now
Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep
Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing
And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms
Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams



And God, I know it's all of this and so much more
But God, you know that this is what I'm longing for
And God, you know I just can't see beyond the door


But in my minds eye I can see a place
where Your glory fills every empty space
All the cancer is gone
Every mouth is filled
And there's no one left in the orphans' bed

Every lonely heart finds the one true love
And there's no more goodbye
And no more "not enough"
And there's no more enemy (no more)



Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss
And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone
Heaven is the place where she takes my hand And leads me to you 
And we both run into Your arms.






Oh God, I know, it's so much more than I can dream
It's far beyond anything I can conceive
So God, You know I'll trust in You until I see
Heaven in the face of my little girl.
