There are no goodbyes
Inspired by this time of year... It's not easy for everyone as millions of people are separated from their loved ones. For many, it's not by choice. If you are alone for Christmas, remember that you're not truly alone in spirit as we're connected through our souls. But, I accept this doesn't help with holiday loneliness.
There are no goodbyes
By Michelle Morris

I was thinking about you today
So far, far away; away from me
What is it about this time of year
That reminds us of our human needs?
Maybe it's because it's for children
A time of innocence and His birth
Maybe it's because it's for families
A moment to share time, and love and mirth
The gift that's in the giving
The love that's in the loving
The life that's in the living
The hope that's in our becoming
Becoming better people
Becoming closer to each other
Becoming peaceful and happy
Becoming joyous and loving
And no matter how far apart
No matter the miles or tears
We are connected by our souls
And I will not give in to my fears
I will look up at the stars and know
We are sharing a piece of the same sky
That vast expanse of the universe
It reminds me that there are no goodbyes
For we will always be together
In spirit when not in mortal form
You are the love of my entire existence
Throughout every single lifetime born
