They always say distance makes the heart grow founder
Me myself I don't believe
That distance that separates you from me is anything but cruel

How I long to be near you
How I long to smell your cologne
How I long to hear your heart beat when we hug

I miss hearing they way you say my name
I miss you always being around
Why is it again that this distance must separate use

How I cant wait to see you again
In heaven is where I will see your face
A little piece of my heart is up there with you

My heart will be restored
When I enter into you presence again
Even though I cant feel you I know you are always with me

Was that you I saw in my mirror as I looked down
or was my mind just playing tricks on me

You have been gone for so long
I almost cant remember just how long

Your ghost follows me all around
but only in the most wanted times

are you up looking down me
or is that just wishful thinking

maybe I don't actually see your ghost at all
maybe my mins is just a tricky place

where I just want you there so bad
I start to think you are actually here.

Your words are like glass
cutting through the air

Quick to catch my attention
Quick to make me notice you

Your soft tone
and gentle pace

Never to fast
but always intentional

Your kind smile
and a gentle heart

I cant help but smile when i see you
I cant help but laugh when your near

I am what I am
because of what has formed me

Just like a rock I to smooth out with the storm
I get washed away like dirt on the shore

Like a diamond I get better through the pressure
I can weather the storm with God in my heart

Shaped and molded
Crafted and crushed

Broken and bruised
Battered and torn

Never the less I shall rise
Like the ashes of a phoenix

I will rise and be firm in the storm
Because my eyes are fixed on God
