No Greater Love

Have you ever seen a rainbow
or watched a setting sun?
     Gazed up at the stars at night
     when a lonely day was done?

      Have you walked along a meadow
     and picked flowers growing wild?
     Listened to a bird in spring or hugged a tiny child?

      When God created all of these
     there was no greater love
     Than what he must have felt inside
     Twas a gift from up above.

      Oh, I have seen the rain dance
     on my window sill,
     And I have smelled the fragrance
     of a honeysuckle hill.

      I've met a lot of people
     and I've walked a lot of miles,
     I've wiped a lot of tears away
     and shared a lot of smiles.

      Yes, I've met a lot of people
     that have touched my life, and yet...
     Only one has touched my soul
     and I never will forget.

      For this man that I am speaking of
     His face I've never seen,
     Only in the pictures that have
     graced my computer screen.

      I've never looked into his eyes
     nor touched his face so fair,
     I've never held his hand in mine
     nor brushed back a lock of hair.

      But I have felt his presence
     each time the wind does blow,
     And I can feel his love for me
     Whereever I may go.

      You see, our hearts have shared their dreams
     Our souls have dared to soar,
     Unto a place so magical
     No one has gone before.

      Yes, I am sure that God made the world
     and thought no greater love,
     Could ever exist than when he created
      the heavens up above.

      But fate stepped in and said, "Hold on...
     Here's a destiny so great...
     The miles and miles between them
     will never hinder fate."

      And so one night we met online
     the meeting was by chance,
     We laughed, we shared, we talked so long
     Our hearts began to dance.

      That was many nights ago
     Our lives continue as before,
     Only now a special feeling
     Makes life's pleasures seem like more.

      I hear his voice, I see his smile,
     He's become a special part,
     Of all I do and all I say,
     For he lives within my heart.

      Although he's not beside me
     I can reach to where he is...
     Our hearts have touched, our souls have soared,
     There's no greater love than this.
