To All Who Have Passed

Some days are scary, a mess and too hard But I can feel you around me when I look at the stars Each day it gets better, I cry one less tear We've all made it so far through all of these years But yes I still see you in the back of my mind And I remember your voice, despite passing time I see you when I close my eyes before bed And I feel your loving touch in the dreams in my head Time hasn't healed the wounds, but they stay stitched up From the threads of your kindness, your words and your love I feel your hugs in the warm summer breeze And I hear all your laughter in each of the trees One day I'll see you but I don't hope it's soon I know that seems callous but I have work to do Because I want to do just as you did And touch many lives as you when you lived It's not the same since you left, I'll admit But this life's not a job that you can just quit It's a journey with each passing day I find hope in remembrance of words you would say So when my day comes and God brings me home, Atleast I will know I won't be alone And now I never feel scared Because I can feel you, you're always right there

Oh, my gosh - I have to read something silly or upbeat before I cry. So emotional and tender, full of loving and longing. I'm guessing for a parent, a Mother - best guess. I'm hugging you. I wrote when my Dad died and I know it served as some small healing therapy - small. Beautiful poem ... CayCay
