THINKING OF YOU
This morning as I rose from bed
And saw the sun above
I softly said "Good Morning, God"
Bless everyone I love".
And right away I thought of you
And said a loving prayer
That He would bless you specially
And keep you free from care.
I thought of all the happiness
Your day could hold in store:
And wished it all for you, because
No one deserves it more.
I felt so warm and good inside,
My heart was all aglow-
I know God heard my prayer for you,
He hears them all you know.
I thank God for giving me you. I thank you for taking me.
I miss you, I love you.... I do I do
