Did He Whisper To You Today

Did you feel the light breeze just now 
Just at the back of your neck
Did you hear him whisper today 
 
Did you think of him today
when you touched something that was his
Did you hear him whisper today
 
Did you do something today
That made you think of him
Did you hear him whisper today
 
Did you laugh today and think of him
was he there guiding you when you worked
Did you hear him whisper today
 
Did you speak to your child today
the way he spoke to you
Did you hear him whisper today 
 
                                      For my dad. By Kate Mcnaughton

I love your poems Kate they are warm and cozy some made me feel sad but others make you remember how special one's son or daughter is. Than you for this feeling.

Beautiful poem, but I must admit, my envisage, was of God the father, waching over us as your poem progressed. Lovely poem, Sincerely Moses
