Memories
I look at your pictures
See your smile
And feel your presence anew.
Warmth fills my soul
And my heart remembers love.
I read all your cards
Sent so many months ago
During that time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
Still caress my spirit
And help bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be
Hear your laughter
And wonder what you have become.
Where are you now?
Where did you go
When the body was left behind
And the spirit was released to fly?
Do you rise with the morning sun
And sing the dawn chorus of the birds?
Songs of love and adoration
For the Father who now holds you.
Do you walk hand in hand
With loved ones above
And listen for the aching whispers
Of hope from those of us below?
I miss your being
But I feel your presence.
Your spirit has become for me
A guardian angel on high
Watching patiently over me.
Your memories fill my need.
You are with me
And are still my son.
I will try not to be afraid.
