Those We Love

those we love don't go away they walk beside us everyday some think heaven is far up in the stars God, I believe heaven is wherever you are and so you promise to never leave or forsake us if we believe, if in you we truly trust, then wouldn't that prove heaven is near? that presence I feel is really here? the body may die and become ashes or dust but our bodies are only a third part of us we have a spirit and we have a soul knowing we live on can comfort and console even though I mourn the loss of you in the quiet of waking your presence comes through in that near sleeping state, just as I wake, I hear your precious voice, my sorrows abate I can feel your hand brush across my brow recall sweet memories and wake fully now a smile, a bit dusty, plays on my face all day as I feel your touch in every warm sun ray
