One Day Closer to You

I sometimes ask the Lord
Why He took you before me,
And though He's never answered-
I guess it was meant to be.

I tell myself you're watching,
That you're never far away;
I sometimes feel the slightest touch
When I bow my head to pray.

I know heaven must have a window
With no curtain to hide the view,
I know you must stand there often
And watch me missing you.

I know you're helping me go on--
You're guiding me through the pain;
I somehow sense you're telling me
There's more sunshine now then rain.

Each new day now dawns with meaning--
Something inside of me rings so true,
Today will slip into yesterday
And I'll be one day closer to you!
