Gone but not far away



Here's a rose,I'm sending your way.

If your sad,And having a bad day.

Just call my name,and I'm always right there.

I know you can't see me,just know I'm always near.

I'm the beauty in the day,I'm the stars you see in the night sky.

I'm that whisper that you hear,on that cold winters night.

I'm the sun that shines upon your face,and the rain that runs down your cheeks.

I'm the wind that gives u a chill,and also cools you down yes that is me.

Even though you can't see me,
just know I'm never far away.

When u feel that warmth from the ☀ sun,Oh yes that is me again giving u a hug just like I always did.

So on those bad days know I'm right there,and I never stopped loving you even though I had to go away.

                All our most loved ones        
                 That are gone to soon
                 You are all truly missed
                   And never forgotten

I love to write poetry I stopped for along time after my son passed and went down a dark path but now finally I'm doing better and ready to put all my feelings into poetry more…
