seventeen days

one two three
more than the stars in the skies
these days without you
snowy rainy cloudy

with each phone call
you uplift my spirits,
you make me smile
and i will go every extra mile

four five six
the numbers increase
and so does my love for you
it keeps getting better
with God's guiding hands
strong will almighty God

i still go on,
knowing you will return soon
and so i pray dream and hope
and long for you

seven eight nine
i can count the hours and the days
you'll soon be in my arms
no other can take your place
i hope we'll last forever

ten eleven twelve!
the excitement bubbles
the happness within me
at the though that i will
be seeing you soon.

thirteen fourteen fifteen
a little more to go
we will pull thru
the year slips back
and we've made it one more

sixteen seventeen
these days without you
God has provided, as always
reliable majestic

i love you
no words can express
these feelings i have for you
a smile, or a tear
for you alw touch my heart
and u have a place here!
