I'll Be There

By Denise Corbley Snyder

For everything you've always been to me

For all the ways you show me that you care

I hope you know ~ I hope that you can see

Whenever you're in need I will be there.

For when I count my blessings from above

I realize anew your specialness

There's nothing quite as precious as your love

Again my heart is filled with thankfulness.

My world would be a sad and lonely place

My heart would never sing a lilting song

Deprived of  all your loveliness and grace

The Universe would seem so very wrong.

As fragrant as the Springtime blooms in May

More lovely than the songbirds of the air

I cherish all you are ~ what can I say?

If ever you should need me I'll be there.
