For Dave

Feel their presence near
Holding you so dear
Hands cupped catching tears that flow.
Always at your side
Hearing when you cried
Thank you for the love you show.

When you think of me
Know that I will be
Rushing to be at your side.
In time you will know
Why things happened so
Blessed is the tie that binds.

A very heartbreaking and emotional poem , Brenda. But you are right, in time we will know the reason why. And we will see our loved ones again. But in the meantime we have our precious memories. Thanks for telling me about this poem, Brenda. Blessings, Darlene

Very special poem Brenda with such words of comfort. So hard to find the right words in such sad times, but you did a wonderful job. And so it is with the ones who love us, that they will be the ones to carry us through. God Bless and thank you for you kind comments.
