only a thought away

"only a thought away" only a thought away to see you to hear you to feel you still I search with all memories never faded never gone my eyes see my mind feels as I look around comfort blankets me shadowed by essence of you of me of us with this new way I'll hold the belief knowing what I have knowing what we had you remain close and only a thought away SkyWatcher 12-07-23

I always wondered, when thoughts of loved ones come, is it because they are thinking of you...maybe, just maybe. Lovely write, Lisa. Happy New Year! Charlie
