I gather every smile you left behind

I gather every moment we shared in my mind

I reflect fondly on every touch

Touches that mean so much

I gather every footstep left during our journey

The path I embrace

I feel every bit of God’s grace

I gather every word you’ve  spoken

I see them as a token

I gather joy felt beyond measure

I gather love felt in pleasure

I gather our praises one at a time

I gather all of our days

In many ways

I gather the things you bring

I gather every song you sing

I gather every obstacle we’ve overcome together

I gather a bond that will last forever

I gather every precious stone

I gather everything I’ve known

I gather life in its splendor

I gather principles I won’t surrender

I gather
