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
