Whenever you are not with me
My heart quickly turns within
To the image, my heart will see
Whose daily love helps me begin

Nothing could ever separate us
Or keep my heart from loving you
And as long as I am breathing
To you Lord I will remain so true

My heart will sing its praises
Making moments to be treasured
I will cause them to last longer
Praying each will be alive forever

And I will never be lonely long
Without Your love here beside me
For I will give life to my dreams
As your tender touch keeps me free.

Wendell A. Brown
