The Ones I Have Lost

As I go through my day, they are by my side, Following me, watching me and also being my guide. These are the angels of my loved ones that passed, When I know their near me, I want this feeling to last. I never had much family, separated by distance, Sometimes I felt like my world was of non-existence. The few I loved so much and held so dear, My grandfather, grandmother and father are no longer here. But when I smell my dads cologne or hear grandmas voice in my ears, I hold in my heart their near me and it rids me of fears. I certainly must say there is not a day that goes by, That I do not think of them and softly cry. I always pray that they will visit me while I sleep, Dreaming of them is a wonderful feeling that goes so deep. I'll miss you everyday until I am no longer on earth, When I see you all again, it will be like a rebirth.
