Would You Be Proud

Would you be proud, would you tell me out loud If you were still on this Earth ? Would your eyes well with tears, would you smile and say “ cheers “ would you feel I am someone of worth ? Would you wrap me up tight in your arms with delight ? Would you see that I now have a purpose? Would you now believe it was so hard to leave my old life that resembled a circus ? Would your heart swell with love ? would I fit like a glove into the family you nurtured ? Would you tell all your friends ? would your love never end now you see that my prospects I furthered ? I see you in dreams and your face seems to beam with that beauteous light that surrounds you . I just pray that you see , that there’s lots more to me than the girl that you left far behind you . Could you be close by ? Are you near when I cry In the wind softly drying my tears ? Could it be your embrace ? Is the sun on my face ? Stroke my arm when I’m facing my fears ? Would you gift me a sign that you’re hearing my rhyme? That my words have been able to touch you ? Every moment I relished, conversations I cherish. How I wish I could reach out and clutch you. Though you have now gone your wise words linger on, they’re engraved in my mind now forever. Through the veil that divides, This tie will survive. I’ll not let our bond ever sever.

Great questions to ask in longing. This makes me yearn for my lost ones as well.

Very nice, I love the flow and the unusually structured stanzas. It helps to define the read by putting emphasis on certain lines.

Something tells me that she would answer all of your questions yes if she could because it is obvious through this poem to me that she was a great influence on you and I am sure she would be proud. Nicely expressed Elaine.
