THEY ARE NOT GONE

Sometimes it is quite soothing…sometimes you are aghast

when you begin to feel the presence of a loved one who has past?

 

You may be thinking about them or they may come out of the blue…

And you can’t explain it…but you know…they’re standing next to you.

 

Have they flown in on a breeze?

Perhaps the wind allowed

them to and float across the heavens 

and drift in on a cloud.

 

Perhaps they rode on a fallen leaf as it meandered down a stream 

or swung from a star, or rode the waves…or slid down a moonbeam…

 

For, no longer constrained by time and space, their sprits are free to roam…

To seek you out wherever you are…for wherever they find you…is home..

 

Have they come to share your joy? Have they come to ease your fears?

Have they come to enjoy you laughter?  Have they come to share you tears?

 

It matters not for you welcome them…as you welcome in the dawn

and it makes you happy knowing you’ll never think of them as gone.
