when i first saw you

I remember the first time I saw you,
You were dancing, making your dress twirl round.
Heavenly Father told me there was a task I must do,
I couldn't wait to tell him what I'd found.
"She's the one!" I said excitedly "That's who is to be my mother."
"I'm so sorry," he sadly replied,
"you will have to choose another."
"But, I can't choose someone else!" I cried,
"There is no other."
"Father, of this I am sure. She is the only one."
"Well, let me see," he began sympathetically,
"I'm sure there's something to be done."
"There is a way, but a struggle it will be."
"I know," I whispered "I've been shown before."
"But, she'll pull me through, and she'll help me."
"I'll be here too, for you both," he said "You just have to open the door."
"Tell me what to do Father," I said, "tell me the plan."
"You will not be carried in her stomach, but in her heart."
"But, there is a young woman who loves a young man,"
"to give you life will be her part."

"From her arms you will go,"
"to the little girl's with the twirling dress."
You are the perfect one, I know.
I would not settle for any less.
