Can feel you whisper to me on the
breath of a warm breeze.
It touches my face as if a soft kiss
To tell me of a smile in the blind
glare of the sun,
Your love is still strong reassures
me of this.
I smell you in the glory of each morning's
rise
And the soft petal of a newborn baby
rose.
I feel you in the touch of sand beneath
my weary feet
The beauty of the now fallen sunset
and of those.
I could be bitter, I reason I should
be
To wonder of why and times of this
pain
No part of this world can ever be
the same
No spring bloom, no falling leaf or
freezing rain.
I struggle inside me to know this
is real
To make sense of the senseless, the
shadows, my fight.
It is you a child who comes to me
and then
Gives me my answer in the silence
of the night.
How I could dream for the rest of
my life
The hug that you gave me like often
before
I wake in a calm long forgotten 'til
now
And I close my eyes in the hope for
one more.
I have my moments of happiness, then
it goes.
There's left a shadow of sadness instead
But I wonder if it's your voice I
hear in my soul
To trust my heart's voice and not
of my head.
You are a love bound in the eyes of
a child
An innocence and purity that calms
all my fear.
A blossom of light, this radiance
I feel yet
Will teach me of goodness and love
that is near.
You are a miracle of life's finer
glory
To behold and make dear in a song
always sweet
You are the word expressed in a sad
melody
That forever makes time a moment complete.
I feel you in the kiss of the children
I love
I have no answers for sad quiet questions
and I start
To understand you alone can tell them
in dreams
That God did fix your precious heart.
I reach for you still in the space
of the sky
But you cover in clouds and twinkle
nearby.
It is a mere child who scolds her
dear Auntie to promise
Care for each other, love me but don't
cry.
You are in a place I now know to be
true
There is more to this life, for I
have been shown
That you play in a new playground
and wait for us there
Until we see proudly the little girl
grown.
