With you beside me
There is comfort
A glow of warmth
 Laughter and joy
 And I smile
Bright as a ray of sun
 But alone I am lost
Drifting without purpose
 As that of a cloud
 Gloomy and grey
 I wait in hope that
 Maybe tomorrow
 The skies will clear
Bringing forth the sun
And thereto a smile
 
  Don’t take for granted
You stand within my shadow
 To signify you care
Hands to only guide me
 Paced so soft and fair
This love I take so freely
 Until I overflow
I listen as you whisper
 To never let you go
 
 Wed ten years this Christmas
 How we traveled miles
 Laughed and cried together
 Yet hold on to our smiles
 In silence you hurt deeply
 But still I cannot see
 How I take for granted
 The love you give to me
 
 Seldom words of thank you
 Or offer I love you
 Must have been an hour
 So slightly overdue
There will never be another
 It’s you that I adore
 I promise to try harder
 Of that you can be sure
