Having You In My Life

I'm so lucky that I have you;
And you're in my life to stay.
I thank God that I have you;
I thank Him every day.

It doesn't matter when I call on you;
Any time, day or night.
I know that you will be there;
To listen to my plight.

So many times I call on you;
And you listen to my plea.
How very fortunate that I am;
That you were given to me.

I'm at a loss of how to say;
Thanks for all you do.
But mostly just for listening;
And waiting till I'm through.

You always listen carefully;
And never inject a word.
But I know that you have listened;
And I know that you have heard.

I wish that I could see you;
When we have our talks alone.
But unfortunately God has taken you;
To live with Him at home.

I wish that I could hold your hand;
And look upon your face.
I'd even listen while you talked;
I'd even take your place.

I'll still continue to talk to you;
And I know that you'll be there.
For you are always with me;
No matter when or where.
