In Memory of You
I find an old photograph and see your smile.
I find an old photograph and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth and my heart remembers love.
I read an old card sent many years ago during a time of turmoil and confusion.
I read an old card sent many years ago during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then still caress my spirit and bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be the laughter we shared and wonder what you have become. Where are you now,
I remember who you used to be the laughter we shared and wonder what you have become. Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind and the spirit is released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird singing joyfully at sunrise,
Perhaps you are the morning bird singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.
Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding, advising, and watching over me.
I remember you.
I remember you.
You are with me and I am not afraid.
