Why worry about stuff that hasn't happened yet?Always Near as You Walk
And I am no longer with you
Let no tears fall or sorrow prevail When you see your reflection shimmer in the water Smile and know that I see your smile When you feel the cool grass beneath your feet And the sun’s warmth upon your back Know that I feel it also When you hear the leaves rustling in the wind Know it is my voice softly whispering to you When you see a dragonfly dancing among flowers Know that I am dancing also When you gently touch a kitten’s soft fur Know that I too feel your touch When the wind swirls across your skin Know that it is I who caresses you When you love another Know that I too feel your love These words are truth, my love Have faith, my love As long as beauty lives upon the earth and in the stars And love lives in every beat of every heart So then do I So then do we all. ..............................................
To Helen
When I first met you
It was your smile
As warm and comforting
As a sun ray
Then it was simply your presence,
When we worked,
Chatted, took a stroll
Or enjoyed our lunch together
What was it that made it so special?
Was it that constant sparkle in your eyes?
Was it that radiance that surrounded you?
Was it that warmth and affection
That exploded from your very being?
I find it hard to know
That you’re no longer here,
And yet I feel your presence,
A shadow of pure light,
Comforting, soothing,
And enveloping me
Like a mantle of pure love
And now I know for sure
That you haven’t really left,
You’re more than ever here
And you will always be
