Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

Thinking of You This Father's Day

It’s a little peculiar
To think
You are more present
Than ever

More now
That you are gone
I feel you hovering around me
Protective and encouraging

I feel you
Plugged into my energy
Almost living vicariously
Through me

And it gives me
Strength and determination
As I feel you with me
More like a spiritual presence

Holding my hand
Guiding me
On my quest
Through the galaxy
Of life’s miracles and mysteries

Timothy Mcguire May 24, 2018 at 9:34 PM Beautiful. We will never know the limit of Gods mercy and who he allows to visit us after leaving the earth. There is no doubt love is too powerful to quench. Line Gauthier May 25, 2018 at 5:07 AM Thank you so much for your lovely visit, Timothy. Most appreciated.

Besma Riabi Dziri May 11, 2018 at 11:45 AM Fathers leave our very world and we are never the same as before.. A whole missing a core! A wonderful tribute to your Dad!

Andrea Dietrich May 10, 2018 at 6:33 PM That would be a fantastic feeling, Line. I would sure love to feel this in my life if a loved one passed away. My stepbrother Dale was my favorite person in the world , yet I never felt his presence when he left this world. Line Gauthier May 10, 2018 at 10:12 PM Ah. Dale is around in subtle ways... Line xx

Jean Murray May 10, 2018 at 5:00 PM Beautiful Line. I wrote one similar about my father. The older I get, the more like him I become. I am so grateful for the talents he gave me. Line Gauthier May 10, 2018 at 5:32 PM Thank you so much for your lovely visit and comment, Jean. I will have to look up your comment.
