I thought, when you went home to God
You were gone forever from my life
I couldn't reach out to touch you
I could no longer be your wife
But as the years grow longer
I've found the peace that I have sought
My love for you grows stronger
I know my fears were for naught
I suddenly realized, my darling
You're as far away as my thoughts

I think of you every moment
As you were...handsome and tall
So you can see, my love
You're not far away at all
I've locked despair away
And thrown away the key
For as long as my mind can see you
You're still here with me

Bea,

And certainly much closer than most people think!

Excellent write, one I have not attempted as yet as so many have gone before whom I admire, including yourself.

I still return to 'King of Terrors' every time I contemplate this.

The communication of individuals across the realms is, both in this life and the hereafter, something special,  the 'merging' of souls is God given,

Thanks Bill...but that's what the poem is about...there's no need to be sad...they are closer than you think.

Poet, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
