Started writing a song about a couple who needs nothing but each other to live a happy life. Ended up writing about a widowed single dad who thanks God for his son. Not sure how that happened.

lyrics

There's a boat anchored somewhere, with her name on it
There's a life we can share with our name on it
Don't need much of anything
A smile, a nod, a simple ring

There's a child playing on the beach
Big smile on his face
There's a dad right there within reach thankful for the grace
Child reaches for his hand
As they walk together across the sand

And he says Thank God for my little angel
Thank God for the love he brings
Miss you so my darling
Thank God for the memories, thank God for the times we had
Thank God I'm a dad

There's a heaven in the sky somewhere
That's where your smiles live now
Someday I'll run my hand through your hair
You'll kiss my brow
The three of us will laugh and play
Looking at the dawn of a new day
