I FELT YOUR CHILLING TEARS SPRINKLE ON MY EYELIDS THIS MORNING.
I FELT YOU, AND I SOFTLY STARTED TO CRY.

I FELT YOUR PRESENCE SURROUNDING ME THIS ENTIRE DAY.
AND SENSING THIS, MY TEARS DRY AWAY.

TO HAVE YOU WATCHING OVER, LIKE AN EAGLE IN MIDFLIGHT-
TO SEE YOUR BRIGHTNESS IN EACH STAR THAT SHINES AT NIGHT-
TO HEAR YOUR SOOTHING VOICE, AS IT BRUSHES PAST MY SIDE-
TO WATCH EACH GRACEFUL CLOUD, AS THEY GO SAILING BY.

ONLY TO SAY "I MISS YOU," WOULDN'T BE QUITE ENOUGH.
SO I'LL AWAIT THE DAY, WHEN GOD CHOOSES TO REUNITE US.


THIS POEM IS ONE OF MANY YOUV'E YET READ, DEDICATED TO MY FATHER, WHO PASSED AWAY OVER SEVEN YEARS AGO. I CAN NO LONGER HAVE HIM IN MY LIFE, BUT WILL NEVER LET GO OF HIS MEMORIES IN MY LIFETIME.
