Memories

When my work on earth is through,
I will travel somewhere new.
I will not be far away,
In your heart I’ll always stay.

There will be good times and bad,
But try hard not to be sad.
Happiness comes from within,
A new life set to begin.

The “firsts” are hardest of all,
The “signs” I send may be small.
A noise, a ring, or feeling,
I can’t be too revealing.

Just always know that I’m near,
And that you don’t have to fear.
Someday we’ll be together,
And that will last forever.

Nicely done on a subject that some would not talk about. Keep writing. Sara
