For Jake

Of all the prayers I've prayed for you And all the prayers to come This one means most dear to me The one where all the others branch from I pray that you find someone Who hung the moon and stars Who loves you despite all your flaws And despite your battle scars I pray that you find someone That loves you through and through That takes your hand and smiles And laughs along with you I pray that you find someone With a kind heart and a free soul With more to offer than just looks When time takes its toll I pray that you find someone That prays the same for you That cares for your best interests Along with their own, too I pray that you find someone Someone that isn't me Someone that offers their love But they don't give it a way so freely I pray that you find someone Because only God knows why I was never good enough for you, Or ever worth any of your time Now that you have found someone I hope that she forgives you I hope that she looks past your faults And forgets all your mistakes, too I pray that I find someone Someone that isn't you Someone that thinks I'm worth their time And takes the time to pray for me, too I pray that we grow apart But I hope that we remain friends So that when we find that special someone We will never pick each other again
