[bodytext] => Thank You For My Gift I was sitting here last night Thinking about all the stuff I’ve been through. Saw a few pictures we had taken And my heart felt like it had been renewed I sat back from my projects And actually began to smile Then I started to laugh a little, Wow it has been a while I couldn’t help myself as I nodded my head and began to pray I thanked the Lord for you right then And that the sun will shine another day Then as a tear of joy, Began to roll down from my eye I started writing this for you, Cause I wanted you to know why I know that you have suffered Your loss has been so much to bear I know first hand myself how it feels When everything seems to be so unfair And then in my despair just When I feel the grip of defeat He always sends me a blessing To help my stand back on my feet So many times I never know, who or why And rarely even see it coming When the blessing takes hold of me, Well it’s amazing it really is something It occurred to me as I sat there And Trying to reorganize my life How much you truly have come to mean to me The level of relief you helped to ease my strife Then I closed my eyes for a moment To rest and start to reflect I never saw that coming You I definitely didn’t expect I want to thank you also For the kindness, patience and respect Thank you for helping me open up again With the world helping me to reconnect I hope and pray you know I’m here for you That you never have to fear or doubt All you have to do is call for me I’m always somewhere around about I’m so greatful for your gift to me I know how rare and precious I‘ll always be mindful of it And thankful for where He has put Us I didn’t know how much I enjoyed Having you around It truly calms my soul, comfort And peace again it has helped me found So I hope your day is wonderful Knowing now how much to me you mean. I feel as if I just woke up again, and My nightmares were replaced by a beautiful dream. So I thank the Lord again for the blessing of you, That is shinning down on me It truly is amazing what we’re given Even when we’re struggling to believe.
