To Have and To Hold
For years you have comforted and loved me, advised and counselled me
You have stood by me, stood up for me, prayed for and believed in me
I have admired you, been inspired by you, and often surprised by you
For no special reason, come here my love, and hold me in your arms
No birthday, no special holiday, no anniverary, and no bad news
No one has been harmed, and let there be no cause for alarm
If it's not too much to ask, I need to be held in your arms
