☯๑’- ETERNAL BOND☯๑’-

I wrote this poem for friends who lost their son Joey in February 2008.

ஜ(¯`°ETERNAL BOND °´¯)ஜ

Whispering winds softly speak my name.

A cushion of clouds comfort me.

Off in the distance I see you.

What words can I offer to lift your grief?

Perhaps, I can simply say, "I love you!"

I want you to know I am still here.

The vessel that carried my soul was merely a shell.

My soul now lives in the hearts of those who love me.

You worry and question if I know the extent of your love for me.

Though I do not write this with my own hands it is my way of letting you know I do.

This is written by a stranger.

One who feels the depth of your sorrow.

It is written because even a stranger can feel the love you carry for me.

It is a love I take with me on my journey.

It is a love that will reunite us one day.

I may not be there in the physical sense.

Still, I am here in the sense that matters most.

Our bond is eternal.

There are things you may not have noticed before.

However, they will stand out now.

You will see them in a different light.

You will stop to appreciate these things.

Perhaps, you will also make them part of your life.

These were my own passions.

My passions become part of yours.

This is another reflection of life and love.

Our love does not fade when we part from a loved one.

Even in passing we remain with those who love us.

I rest knowing we will embrace once again.

When that time comes we will recapture our tomorrows.

A stranger writes this so I could simply say, "I love you!"

With pen to paper she discovers what could be a never ending task.

She realizes you can not describe a love that continues to grow.

Even when a loved one has passed.
