To All Who Have Passed
Some days are scary, a mess and too hard
But I can feel you around me when I look at the stars
Each day it gets better, I cry one less tear
We've all made it so far through all of these years
But yes I still see you in the back of my mind
And I remember your voice, despite passing time
I see you when I close my eyes before bed
And I feel your loving touch in the dreams in my head
Time hasn't healed the wounds, but they stay stitched up
From the threads of your kindness, your words and your love
I feel your hugs in the warm summer breeze
And I hear all your laughter in each of the trees
One day I'll see you but I don't hope it's soon
I know that seems callous but I have work to do
Because I want to do just as you did
And touch many lives as you when you lived
It's not the same since you left, I'll admit
But this life's not a job that you can just quit
It's a journey with each passing day
I find hope in remembrance of words you would say
So when my day comes and God brings me home,
Atleast I will know I won't be alone
And now I never feel scared
Because I can feel you, you're always right there
