  I Remember You

Here alone I smile with many thoughts of you
So much to say since the rain's passed through
I've been handed a miracle and here's to let you know
I knew you years before and a long time ago...

It's hard to believe how I've grown so strong
I've realized, My Friend, you were never gone
I can now understand how I've lived all that time
You were the little girl I pictured in the back of my mind...

When the night found me scared I held onto you
Cause,  there in my mind you were there with me, too
I used to pray for you each time I fell down
You were the one friend I called on when tears were found...

I never really had someone to call my own
So, even in my mind I wasn't alone
You were the one I prayed for each new night
And, somehow you were that hand that held mine tight...

I remember you, Friend, though it's hard to believe
So, it wasn't just recently we were lucky to meet
It's that God gave me years to one day feel
How he took my familiar prayer and he made you real...

You were a vision I held onto when the world made me cry
Now, God's placed you in person before my eyes
With years at hand and here in my heart
It took a memory to see we were never apart...

Thank you for being my very best friend
Though you hadn't realized you'd always been
And, I still thank God for what he's able to do
You were the wish I've waited to finally come true...

Thank you Mark for reading this...It means a lot to me. I was hoping someone would like it. I know sometimes my writing can be hard to understand...but they all mean something to me. Thanks again.
