Your Presence

Like a smile appears
In the sparkling eyes of a child
So it warms me up
As it cuddles up in my soul
The influence of Your Presence

When you are near
Come what may
I feel good and more complete
In fact, I am able to feel
Because of Your Presence

Your eyes have arms
They hug me every day
How can I even be sad
When my life is filled
With Your Presence

Your words
Are meaningful to me
Like air brings life
They bring me closer
To Your Presence

When you walk in
The rest of the world walks out
My heart follows you
So I am never apart
From Your Presence

In the end of the day
Shadows may rise
But there is always sunshine
As long as I am found
In Your Presence

As the moon follows the sun
And the sun follows the rain
My longing goes to you
Who sprinkles my life with stardust
For your friendship
For being who you are
For Your Presence

To A Very Special Friend

Our encounter only counts as a moment
Of eternity, like a shooting star
That what made the difference
Is that you are who you are

During this short time
You have really touched my heart
I'm happy for my life here
And that you could play a part

It has puzzled me how you've been able
To always be what I need
Im my eyes you are Christlike
In thought, and word, and deed

Your personality has showed me
How Heavenly Father works and is
No matter what you say
Your behavior has been His

Apart from serving the Lord
Improving the world has been your call
Though the reason you seem perfect to me
Might be that I don't really know you at all

There are countless things I am grateful for
The Gospel, cats, cookies, and
That life has brought to me in you
A very special friend

Though there are reasons why the future
Only makes it to the past
The present seems like a dream
And is never meant to last

We really had a good time
Now I understand that you must leave
But we will see each other again
This I both know and believe

I hope to see you in the eternities
But until then
I pray that God will be with you
Till we meet again
