Your Presence

I carry your presence in my heart
It's nothing anyone can see
It's just a forever feeling
That lives in the heart of me.

I feel your friendly presence
From time to time it comes
Perhaps as a fleeting smile
Or in the beauty of a setting sun.

The way you touch me over time
Is a pleasure I can't deny
And your friendship that lives within
Will be with me till the day I die.
