It's been many years, since you've gone. <br />And to spite my fears, I have carried on! <br />There were tmes, I thought I'd not make it. <br />I'd cry myself to sleep. But the wonderful <br />memories, I have of you, are mine, forever, <br />to keep. No longer are you here in body, <br />your spirit remains with me. I can feel your <br />presence around me, though nothing <br />tangible I see. I have no doubt, you're <br />watching, making sure that I'm okay. As <br />carefully you guide me, through each and <br />everyday. There are times I feel a sense <br />of calm and often wonder why. It's then I <br />feel, it must come about, as no doubt <br />you're standing by. As in life and in spirit, <br />together, we'll always be. For that's the <br />way it always was, together, you and me!<br /><br />Audrey Heller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-father-33/
