'always There'

When I gazed through my window 
I was hoping to catch a glimpse
Of you 
When midnight hour float in 
I was hoping to hear you breathe  
 
In all the hopes I sometimes have 
I know those two will never be

You are no longer 
Treading your footsteps here on earth
Today is better than yesterday 
But I don’t know about later in the day
At times I feel you next to me 
At times I shed a tear or two 
Because I miss you 


Then I reminisce 
And just like that I know 
That no matter what happens
You will always be there,
Might not be physically but 
You are always; always  
there

This is so touching , Missy, sad yet also comforting in its own way-- how those who we have lost, will always be there, even in spirit...beautifully captured sentiments, as always...sending you hugs
