Gone

As I open my eyes  to the light of the new  day Another long  night is through. These days my life seems so scattered and all of my thoughts are of you. I reminisce  of your childhood, And the day you took your first breath, you always had so much love to give Even after your death. I see the signs you send me each day And am grateful for them all I know that  you are so very  close, but I can't see you at all. Son, You are my guardian  angel now, And You will watch over me It's not how I would choose it But it's how it's gotta be. Son, You are with our ancestors now, Looking down from Heaven above. Watching  over all of us and sending so much love. You are with momma and my daddy, My brothers and sisters too My granny, aunts and uncles will all be there with you Give them all a hug from me and send them all my love Until the day that I  see you again in heaven up  above. 12/27/2019

Such a soulful poem, Mary. I love the term 'cross over' ~ your poem highlights the fact that our ancestors -ie those who died before us- are waiting for us with open arms when it's our time to cross over.
