Notes About The Poem

Written July 20, 2025 without AI for Mystic Rose Rose's contest titled Those We Love

 

 

Those We Love

Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us every day

We benefit from their presence and
Passionate love helps us understand

The dearly beloved aren’t limited by
Earthly boundaries as are in life

Love is timeless, magical, like the truth
It’s like a sabbatical always with you

It’s like a pair of glasses helping you see
How much a heart full can be set free

For many feel abandoned when death comes
If only they look up and inside to see the sun

The Son who sends your angel to guide 
To dry your tears so you persevere in life

To comfort you and never to confuse
Lifting your spirits and lightening blues

Those we love don’t go away
I see them in a familiar face

A smile, a child, a white wind that blows
Tingling of my skin, warming like hope

You’d never leave me and I feel you close
As if you are my angel, love keeps you afloat

Karen, this touched me deeply. Your words hold such grace and quiet strength—reminding us that love transcends even death. I especially felt the comfort in “a white wind that blows... warming like hope.” It’s beautiful and faith-filled, like a gentle reminder that those we’ve lost are never truly gone. Thank you for this heartfelt offering.

Dear Karen— Your poem touched my heart deeply. You’ve captured something so true about the way love lingers but never gone, never lost, but quietly beside us every day, sometimes in the most surprising ways. I love how you move from the abstract “timeless, magical, like the truth”to the real and tangible, like a familiar smile or the feel of a breeze on your skin. Summer Blessings, My Dear Karen,Daniel
