A True Georgia Peach

 Can't know the sweetness of a Georgia peach

'Less you take a bite of it's succulent flavor

Can't measure the sweetness of a Georgia girl

'Less you've known and loved her priceless behavior

For some can't look into your eyes

But this one never left you in wonder

She spoke the truth, instead of lies

Told it like it was, no tales to ponder

With the face of a cherub that sometimes glowed

She'd smile and wrap you up in her arms

You wouldn't let go of that feeling that flowed

The one that calms your fears and warms

For 'neath it all was the heart of champ

A fairytale princess, no Hollywood vamp

A born again believer, a child of the king

She put Him first in everything

Her Mom and her Dad taught her what was right

And she loved them both to the end

She never strayed from the truth or the light

Her path was straight with no bend

Her laughter is now heard in Heaven so fair

To share with those we've sent through the breach

We've  lost a dear heart and sweet breath of air

And Heaven has a brand new peach
