After Losing a Child
Do you seek me?
I'm still here!
Look for me in nature,
for my love is growing there.
My messages are written,
in earth and sea and air.
Do you hear me?
Listen to the song birds,
as each new day is born.
Can't you hear me singing to you,
in the early morn?
Do you feel me?
When the wind is gently blowing,
or a mist is in the air,
can't you feel me touching you,
and messing up your hair?
Do you see me?
Glimpse my face in any flower.
Breathe deep the beauty that you see.
And green the grass you walk upon,
I walk along with thee.
Do you sense me?
Even at times when you cry,
know that I am near.
I'm the finger on your cheek,
tasting every tear.
Do you search for me?
When you turn to God in prayer,
know in your heart that I am there.
