Never Quite Alone

Through his time of suffering 
you sheltered him from the storm
he knew the love you gave to him
would keep him save and warm.
He may have only come into your life
for just a little while
but he gave you all his love
with tenderness and a smile.

And although it’s with the Angels
he now shares a Heavenly home
with all the love he left you with
you are never quite alone.
For when you’re near a playground
on a summers day
you will hear his laughter in
the children as they play.

And when you hear the wind blow
all those autumn leaves
you will feel his gentleness 
drifting through the trees.
When you see the stars
shine in a winter’s sky
you will see the twinkle 
so often in his eye.

And when you feel the freshness
of each day in spring
you will be so happy
to wear his wedding ring.
When you feed those Badgers
as you often do
you will always remember
he loved them just like you.
