"You'll Never Walk Alone"
I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying,
quietly in your sleep.
I touched you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you,
I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast,
I watched you pour coffee,
You were thinking of how much you
were in LOVE with me.
I was with you at the store today,
Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to take your parcels,
I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today,
You tend it with such care.
I want to reassure you,
that I'm not really there.
I walked with you to the house,
as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my hand on you,
I smiled and said "it's me."
You looked so very tired,
and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know,
that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be
so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty,
"I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then
smiled, I think you knew,
In the stillness of that evening,
I was very close to you.
The day is over, I smile and watch
you yawning and say
"goodnight, God bless,
I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and
we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to
show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.

I find an old photograph and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.
I read an old card sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit and bring me peace.
I remember who you used to be the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have become.
Where are you now, Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?
Perhaps you are the morning bird singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist delicately reaching over the mountains
or the final few rays of the setting sun lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical glow.
I miss your being but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to take,
however you now choose to be.
guiding, advising, and watching over me.
I remember you. You are with me and I am not afraid.
Journey Of Hearts

Brokenhearted...
How can I bear the pain?
So many plans.. permanently interrupted.
Hopes...dashed
All gone.
Why?
Why this?
Why us? Why me?
Helplessness...hopelessness...
Life will never be the same again.
Is it even worth living?
Where are you God?
I'm right here beside you, my child.
Even through you may not feel my presence,
I'm holding you close under the shadow of my
wings.
I will walk with you through this dark night
Do not shrink from weeping
I gave you tears for emotional release
Don't try to hide your grief
Let it become a source of healing
A process of restoration
For I have planned it so.
Those who morn shall be blessed
I'll be holding onto you
Even when you feel you can't hold onto me
Seek my face, child of mine
Receive my promise, impossible, as it may
seem now
That joy will come in the morning
It may take much time
but I will heal your broken heart
I know the night seems endless
But Morning Will Come!
I have promised.

Thy sun hath set to us, but shines somewhere
In Heavenly Light.
"Th' encircling gloom" is gone, and all is fair
In Heavenly Light.
The home is reached, thou dost "not ask to see
The distant scene, "for it is near to thee.
And thou art "ever thus:" no need to pray
In Heavenly Light.
For guidance on a dark and rugged way:
In Heavenly Light.
The day of sorrow and of doubt is gone,
Thy love remembered and thy haven won.
And now thy faith is sight, and thou dost know
That God is Light:
And over "moor" and "torrent" we must go.
Through the dark night,
Till in the glorious morning light we see
The "angel faces" of the blest and thee.
H.D. Parsons, London, 1890
