I am here... (a poem for the bereaved)

 I am here

Just because you can’t see me, doesn’t mean I’ve gone.

No, my love, I’m here for you, whispering in your ear.

Find me in the wind that blows, floating the air.

See me in the sun that shines, to make your path more clear 

See me in the moonlight, shining all around,

Find me in the frost at night, covering the ground,

I am in the morning, and the evening too,

I am here beside you, thinking of you. 

I am here for you my friend, 

So do not shed a tear,

I’ll be with you forever more, 

So don’t forget I’m near.

Thank you for the love we shared,

The laughter and the tears,

Thank you for the memories, over the all years,

Thank you for being with me, in my darkest days,

Thank you for caring, in so many ways,

I’ll be with you forever more, 

So don’t forget I’m near.

I am here for you my friend, 

So do not shed a tear.
