When we're apart,
I want you to keep me in your heart
..and in your mind.
Just quietly close your eyes once in a while
and imagine me here, smiling and thinking
such thankful thoughts of you.
For I spend so many quiet moments
.....of my own
thinking how much I miss you,
.....and how hard it is to be apart,
.....and how wonderful it is
that you're always with me,
warm and cherished...
here in my heart.
