I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day,
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone, but I'm always near;
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart,
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight;
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach;
I'm the warm, moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around,
And the pure white snow, that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond;
The clear, cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in Spring;
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
And you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
You can talk to me though the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
And you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears, that flow when you weep;
And the beautiful dreams that come when you sleep;
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face;
Just look for me, Mom, I'm every place.

But that was nothing new.
I thought of you yesterday,
And days before that, too.
I think of you in silence,
And often speak your name.
All I have of you are memories
And your picture in a frame.
God has you in his keeping,
I have you in my heart.
In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn�t go alone
For part of me went with you
The day God took you home.
