Thieves of Joy...

No one can take away 
The smiles you give to me each and every day
The comfort and security and most of all love
Peace and instruments playing sweet as a dove
Nothing alive or dead can steal such a friend
Your spirit that stays with me until the end
Beings below or above cannot rob what we share
The blessing of your wisdom and how much you care
Below the earth or in a galaxies far away
In other worlds or winds that may stray
Can capture your promises and dedication
The joy in your arms healing amazing meditation
Your hands holding mine as I bow weeping in prayer
As you ask why are you weeping?
I will never leave I am forever
The moments I know you were there
In sickness and loneliness when no one would care
You were my friend, my comforter, and my staff
Wiping my tears while making me laugh
No more dancing to someone’s drum
But knowing your love is all I need and then some
Making impressions wanting someone to be close
Thriving for someone to give me their heart as a rose
I have the best possession in the universe and worlds to be
It is you Jesus and nothing can take that from me…..
