Poem ~ Your Presence is the Joy of My Heart

To God, to a friend.....

I am happy simply because you are here

My only care is being where you are not

Your presence is the joy of my heart.

To abide in your friendship is my deepest prayer

You are worth every battle fought

I am happy simply because you are here.

You are my treasure

The life in me that can not be achieved or bought

Your presence is the joy of my heart.

I used to think the world was cruel and unfair

It is, but you are not

I am happy simply because you are here.

I live without need and fear

You are the prize

Your presence is the joy of my heart.

Though sorrows may find me,

I cling to you my rock

I am happy simply because you are here

Your presence is the joy of my heart
