You lie nestled against my arm
As the morning light filters through.
You whisper in the voice
Of one who has been loved.
Write to me of love
Of your light that guides my way.
Tempt me and arouse me, as you do.
Some days you say your life meant nothing
When you were alone and unlovable.
Once we shared that feeling
But today I know I’m not alone.
One thing I thought I’d never have is YOU!
I’m grateful for everyday
Knowing each morning you are here
To reach out and find comfort.
When demons intrude
And life goes sour
I know your arms are always there.
I know to resist
Can lead to tears
When we stand in life’s way.
So one day at a time
I say over and over
I love you I love you.
You keep me from sadness
Multiply my gladness.
So when I write to you of love
Its words of gratitude I pen
Knowing how lucky I have been
In the hands of fate
To be loved as I am
And to love you, as I do.
