I am sharing a poem written some time ago and I hope it brings some comfort to those who have lost a loved one recently, and whose grief is still quite raw.

I hope it brings you some comfort.  

I AM WITH YOU

I am with you in the morning

In the bird’s first song.

I am with you in the sun’s first light

I am with you all day long.

I am with you as you travel

In the haste of every day,

You will feel my very presence

In the sun’s last ray.

I am with you in the sparkle

Of a diamond studded sky.

I hear your every wish

And I see you cry.

I watch you as you try to sleep

Then, when exhaustion takes control.

I am there to shelter you -

To heal your wounded soul.

I am in the winter wind.

The leaves of autumn’s chill,

In the daffodils in springtime

The blossoms on the hill.

My presence will be with you

In the cool of a summer breeze,

I am watching over you

On days such as these.

I am with you as the ocean

Laps against the shore,

As the seabirds soar and fly

Then land again once more.

I shall reach out to you

In the words of a much loved song.

A stirring piece of music

As you hurry right along.

A fragrance will keep me close

And you shall feel me near,

I am with you now and always

Because I love you dear.
