Welcoming


The wind blew through my hair
I felt like you were there
I could distinctively hear your voice
As I remembered your moral choice
I could clearly see your face
Something no-one can replace
No longer did I stand alone
In this empty field, wind blown
I welcomed you with love and smiles
While your grave is far away in miles

Hi Heidi, A sad yet happy poem about your loved one AS HE WAS THERE WITH YOU. My Dad visited me on the day he died at night warning me my tyres were all bald. I BELIEVE THERE IS A DEFINITE CONNECTION. BE WELL, HUGS, Jennifer.

So poignant, Heidi. A woman's strength is far beyond my ken. ~ Gershon
