like you never left

at times we lose people who we love the most and deep down we know they are always with us..R.I.P my dearest this one is for you..NLC

When the sun hits my face and I feel the warmth,

It is you that I'm feeling.

I've seen the brilliant sunsets that you have painted,

Colors and brushstrokes that you've created, I know that

You are near.

 

When the moonlight fills the night and it lights the way

Home for me, it's your way of saying I love you.

In the still of the night when I lay my head down,

My thoughts are of you and my tears hit the pillow.

When the tree branch hits my window softly,

It is you telling me you're here.

 

When I look upon the perfect red rose on the pathway and inhale

Its gorgeous scent, and feel the dew on its petals

I know that you are near.

As my tear hits my cheek and I feel warmth around me,

I know that you are near.

 

As I go through my life and the seasons change again and again,

When I feel I can't go on I look at your picture and hold it closely,

I hear your voice and your laughter and know you are looking over me.

I tell you goodnight every night, whisper that I love you in my mind

                                          And know that you hear me, for you are always near.

This poem touched a very sensitive part of my heart.
I too, know the feeling of losing someone who it is impossible
to go a day without thinking about. Ongoing heartache,
but you turned it into such a beautiful tribute.
Loved it, well done!
