I AM WITHIN YOU

(T. Beechey)



Should you find yourself standing near

My gravesite,stop! For I'm not here

I am in the whispered breeze

In the rustle of the trees

I'm in the laughter of a child

I'm in the tears of the beguiled

I am in each drop of dew

But,mostly,I am within you



Should you find yourself passing by

My gravesite,stop! I do not lie

Beneath this stone or under this ground

Within yourself is where I'm found

I am within each word you speak

I'm within the kiss upon your cheek

I'm in all you are and all you do

Because I am within you



I am within your very soul

As you strive to achieve your goal

I am within your every breath

We are still one,even after death

And,within you,is just where I'll stay

From the "Amen" you softly pray

To your greeting the coming day

There couldn't be any other way



And as you from your slumber wake

Picture me in each snowflake

See me in each grain of sand

And all throughout this promised land

Both near and far and far and wide

My vision shall be at your side

From mountains high to oceans blue

Because I am within you



I am within your hopes and dreams

Every time the sunshine beams

I am within your thoughts and prayers

Each time that your spirit cares

Just because my earthly fight

Has given in to my plight

Nothing shields you from my light

You shall remain in my sight



Should you find yourself in the presence of

My gravesite,stop and gaze above

I am within each cloud that forms

I'm within the rainbow after the storms

I'm within the seed that's freshly sown

And the bloom from which the seed is grown

I'm within all that's good and true

And that's why I am within you
