I think of you always
for you are the shadow
that accompanies me while
the sun shines

And your spiritual essence
Is what I feel, though I have
Counted all the endless moments
Since you have left my side

When I dream, you are
the light that fills
my mind with the love
I yearn to feel for my
Heart has been too lonely

And even time cannot
Wipe away my tears!
When i am alone it is
unbearable for me, but
made bearable by the love
of the One who now enjoys
your laughter

Though i cry for your
company, i cherish all
of you that still lives
within my heart and soul

For you have not died, but
in passing you have taken
a trip ahead of me, where
I know that you await me
with open arms

I was made better in
my life, and i was made
stronger, and I endure
because of the power
of your love that you
still give to me

And I feel your heartbeat still,
As I lay alone in my bed,
I  still feel your kiss with its
Soothing, healing powers
Upon my yearning lips

And I find  even though you
Are not here, I feel your
abounding love stll in my
Sselfish daydreams each
Day that you are away…
until we are together again.

When I first started sharing my poetry, i was blessed
to share it at a site called Crossway Publications, A
Christian site made up of over 1500 poets.  They would
Share poems together everyday, even asking some to
critique their works.  One poetess friend wrote
a poem full of sadness and I e-mail and asked her why?
She then told me about the love of her life who had just
passed a while back and she still was experiencing deep
sorrow.  I asked her if she mind if i would take her
Feeling of love and sorrow and write a poem for her to
her husband, and she agreed and this poem was written
for her in one hour making her smile she said!   I wanted
to share it because a lot of people who read it loved it.
It truly reflects how the embrace of love stays on in
our lives even with the passing of a love one.  After
reading some poems and messages last week i thought
this might help someone out there who is experiencing
the same thing having a much similar need!.
