Thankful for You

Thankful for You 

(5-11-01) 

I try and try to find the words to say, 

To let you know just how I feel. 

For the words, each night I pray. 

Beside me bed, each night I kneel. 

The only words that come to me. 

The only words that I hear, 

I love you more that you can see. 

In my life, I always want you near. 

You hold me in your arms when I cry, 

And with a loving finger, you wipe away my tears. 

When I’m afraid, you encourage me to try, 

Do all you can to calm my fears. 

I’m thankful to God, that you are here, 

You didn’t have to love me, though you do. 

In my heart, I will always hold you dear. 

This is my way of saying, I love you.
