Still Around Although Departed
Still Around Although Departed.
Although out of reach and out of touch
Although they are no longer seen by eye
Losing someone you love dear
Doesn’t mean they completely gone or die
For like a gentle warm summer breeze
That whispers and caresses cherished memories
kept in the album of out hearts
Of precious moments
Of which our loved ones
Live again and are apart
For they are still around us
And never really left our side
But are at last free to fly
And settle on our hearts
Like a colourful painted butterfly
Every time I see a perky robin
Our a red poppy in a field of gold
A horse with a new born foal
Read a verse from the great book
The greatest story ever told
A silver ribboned flowing stream
A rugged mountain
Or landscape of vibrant green
A steady stroll through a forest
Joyful birdsong a squirrel on the ground
An abundant place of stillness
And true treasures are found
The diamonds that shine and sparkle bright at night
Within a dark velvet sky
A rainbow after the rain
A pleasant tranquil ambling country lane
A heartfelt smile from a new born baby
So precocious and so warm
The dawn chorus
And the majestic sunrise at dawn
An allotment where you used to sew
And after labour you’d watch them grow
All these things remind me of you
And the things you used to love and do
Someday soon we will meet again
In a beautiful place far from here
Where pain and suffering will be gone
And love peace and harmony will reign
With no war hate or fear
Then I'll hold you in my arms again
Looking happier and so healthy than before
A place we’ll wander
Through the lush flowered gardens
Hand in hand
And ride horses toward the sun
On a wave kissed beach of golden sand
Play like children and sing with joy and praise
From out hearts
And live for eternity
And will never again
Be apart.
