Christmas from the Heart

When someone we love dies, if we close our eyes, we can still see them in our every day walk of life. If you have lost someone you love, look for them today… you may be surprised to find that they are not really gone at all.

I heard your voice in the wind today
and I turned to see your face;
The warmth of the wind caressed me
as I stood silently in place.

I felt your touch in the sun today
as its warmth filled the sky;
I closed my eyes for your embrace
and my spirit soared high.

I saw your eyes in the window pane
as I watched the falling rain;
It seemed as each raindrop fell
it quietly said your name.

I held you close in my heart today
it made me feel complete;
You may have died...but you are not gone
you will always be a part of me.

As long as the sun shines...
the wind blows...
the rain falls...
You will live on inside of me forever
for that is all my heart knows.

That poem is so beautiful. I feel the same way about someone who's not dead but who is so so so far away and who I haven't seen for a long long long time. It hurts.
