\n
Soundly sleeping on a winter’s night
\nI woke to hear you say
\nAs my flesh ran chilled with fright
\nYou said ;
\n"Its time to go away."<\/P>
\n
To imagine life without you here
\nAnd not to my surprise
\nLeft me feeling sad and helpless
\nAnd overcome with fear.<\/P>
\n
A winding road was just ahead
\nSwinging left and right ,
\nOff the bridge you fled so fast,
\nInto an abyss of lights.<\/P>
\n
With reaching hands I grasped for you
\nBut the shining stars did blind.
\nIsn’t it odd how our Spirits know
\nWhen we will be left behind ?.<\/P>
\n
Even though your abode no more
\nIs in this Earthly life
\nI see and hear you in my dreams
\nSpeaking softly and so wise.<\/P>
\n
Even still I’m missing you
\nAnd life is not the same.
\nI often hear your words to me
\nFrom beyond the deepest grave.<\/P>
\n
"Do not grieve for me ,
\nDo not make a sound !
\nI am in the heavens today
\nWith shining stars abound !
\nDo not cry , my child
\nI loved you then and now !
\nI never left you anyway ,
\nFor that is not allowed !
\nDo not doubt what I say is true
\nAnd never ask why in fear
\nI haven’t gone anywhere
\nJust know I’m always near."<\/P>
