The gentle breeze, caresses your face, and sings you a lullaby. You feel the presence of those you loved gently floating by. Gazing through tear-filled eyes wishing they were here, You are overcome with sweet memories, of a time flown past, echo’s only you can hear. Then you stop and wonder, “Maybe they’re nearby?” You feel them in the gentle breeze, see them in the rustling leaves, and in a beautiful butterfly. All these signs, give you comfort. So maybe it’s true. The Angels you see are your loved ones, watching over you.

Hello Sara. Good Morning. This is beautiful poetry. It is very comforting. The entry reads with flow and ease. I very much liked how your title and ending line mirrored each other. I find that to be a nice poetic touch. Thank you for sharing your poetic talent with us. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings always. (smile)

I believe they are always close by, watching over us. Sometimes they visit us in our dreams. xx

Sweet, heavenly, cherubic, angelic, Heaven-sent. I'm out of superlatives, which isn't fair, because this sweet write deserves more than 2.5 pair! Excelsior! Keep 'em coming, Sara! :) gw

Lovely, charming write. I believe that also, we are only separated by a veil of consciousness -- someday to be reunited. Blessings. Very inspirational.

I agree with you, Joe. That veil of consciousness to which you refer is sometimes lifted when I sleep. Strange, I know. I'm glad you found the piece inspirational. Enoy your day, Sara
