Never Far Away
Fragrant flowers remind us of life
As they surround us in the room
Words of loved ones comfort us
Spoken directly from the heart
Cards of concern arrive in the mail
As difficult days begin to follow
Your world will now be quieter
By a voice you will miss so much
Memories will flood the mind
Causing laughter and some tears
Always keeping you so close
To one who now seems so far
Just remember the joy that was
As the same joy that still is
Though the words now fall silent
The spirit speaks warmly within

Post a CommentGreat poem.
I really like that last line "the spirit speaks warmly within" ; in our hearts they remain forever as in time capsule. Nice poem; again Hallmark style.
Great thoughts!!!
