Only every so often
Once in a blue moon
Have you come to me in a dream
that is gone too soon.

I expected when you left me
That you would still linger near
Your soul, my soul - connected.
I thought you'd always be here.

You were gone long before
The last breath left your chest
You went out with the storm
For a much needed rest.

I needed you then
And I was mad for so long
My mind went through the motions
And now I know I was wrong.

But I still do need you,
just like I did back then.
Are you here watching me?
and why can't I know when?

Are you that beautiful Robin
That hopped towards me and flew away?
Are you that butterfly hovering around me?
Or that kitten wanting to play?

Are you my guardian angel
Or are you a twinkling star
Do you walk with me down the road?
Or drive with me in the car?

Some days I feel so alone
and other days I know its true
The tingling on the back of my neck
I just know that has to be you

I know I can feel you,
Even though we are apart..
Maybe you are inside of me
and you live inside my heart.

For my Gramma...my definition for strength.

memories always will be close to the heart and soul...they do not die.
