there is not a day
that goes by
that i don't think of you
remembering all the good times we shared
and the sorrowful ones you helped
to see me through
i know that you're in heaven because
there is no other place someone
as beautiful as you could be
just to gaze into your soulful eyes
was such a precious thing


sometimes, i feel your spirit
lurking in places we have been
and i am grateful
when i feel you here
as your comforting smile draws near
sometimes when i dream
you are still here with me
so clear it almost seems real
you were so very special to me
it's not so much i am grieving
i am merely missing you
thinking fond thoughts of you for you see
there is a special place in my heart
where our treasured memories will always be

There must be a poem in here somewhere.

To have that feeling linger and comfort is like a Heavenly backrub.

Lovely poem, Faith.  I feel this way about Flicka, Tigger and Daisy, my horse, cat and dog - and yes, they DO smile, in their own way.

Faith...Holding the memories of our lost loved ones in our hearts is something we all cherish.
Hopefully your memories will comfort you in time of need...Paul

Faith - Maybe the dream IS real and this just our ... fantasy.  I'm sure the person you are remembering has read your poem and is happy.
