I haven't gone to see your stone, and kneel
Beside the mound that interrupts the lawn;
My worried friends have told me why they feel
I haven't gone.

They bring me flowers I can lay upon
Your grave, and offer words to help me heal,
To make me unafraid of moving on.

I never try to tell them of our deal,
Of how you said, "I'll greet you every dawn,
In spirit, with a whisper to reveal
I haven't gone."

A beautiful and haunting description of outside misunderstanding and inner trust.

oh, this aches with love's memory
a high note, off the scale
who could NOT be moved by this...

A very moving piece of work.
Hugs~Nancy

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

There are freedoms plenty
within this poem...

because of the loss,
you will find new strength
every day.

Excellent...

and thank you.
