Wherever you Are

I wanted you more than you ever will know,
 So I sent love to follow wherever you go.
 It’s high as you wish it.
It’s quick as an elf.
You’ll never out grow it…
it stretches itself.
So climb any mountain… climb up to the sky!
My love will find you.
My love can fly!
Make a big splash!  Go out on a limb!
My love will find you.  My love can swim!
It never gets lost, never fades, never ends…
If your working, or playing, or sitting with friends.
You can dance til you’re dizzy…
paint til your blue
There’s no place, not one,
that my love can’t find you.
And someday if you’re lonely,
or someday you’re sad.
or you strike out at baseball, or think you’ve been bad…
just lift up your face, feel the wind in your hair.
That’s me, my sweet baby, my love is right there.
In the sea of green grass…in the smell of the sea.
In the clouds floating by… at the top of the tree… in the sound crickets make at the end of the day…
 “You are loved.  you are loved.  You are loved,” they all say.
My love is so high, and so wide and so deep, it’s alwas right there, even when you’re asleep.
 So hold your head high
and don’t be afriad
to march to the front
of your own parade.
If you’re still my small babe
or you’re all the way grown,
my promise to you is you’re never alone.

You are my angel, 
my darling, 

my star

 and my love will find you, wherever you are.

You are loved.
-Nancy Tillman
