Although some distance does divide us,

My heart and home are open wide.

Each to receive a priceless love,

No other could provide.

Our days may swell with laughter,

Or bring tears we must subdue.

But these moments I am thankful for,

Because they're shared with you.

So we may not be together,

And today finds us miles apart.

But as I pray for all I'm thankful for,

It's having you within my heart.
