I WILL BE THERE

 

Do not grieve for me

Do not mourn my passing

Remember me with a smile

Don’t think of me as gone

Remember what we had

Think of our life like a favourite book

Do not close it and put it on the shelf

Never to be read again

Just because you hate the ending

Start to write the next chapter

Enjoy it like all the others

And don’t be sad

I will be there with you always

 

I will be there when the wildflowers

Dance in the spring meadow

When the summer breeze moves through

A field of ripening wheat

When the morning mist of autumn

Softens the landscape

And when the winter sun

Sparkles and glints on the snow

And I will be by your side

Through your loneliest hours

 

I will be there in the dawn

Rising with the sun

You will see me again

When the sun sets at the days end

And in the twilight hours

I will be that gentle breeze

That caress’s your cheek

On a warm summer evening

And I will be that tingle on your skin

As you lie in the quiet hours

 

I will be there when you retrace our steps

And when you stand on the lake shore

My reflection will not be on the water

By I am still with you

When you walk in the autumn

Through the golden carpet

I will be in the dancing leaves

And when the snow lays

Though I will leave no footprints

I am there for these moments that were ours

 

I will be there in the quietness of winter

Among the falling snowflakes

I will be in the dew drops

On the grassy meadow

I will be there in the warm sunlight

Of a summer’s day

I will be with you when the storm

Quickens your heartbeat

And you will feel me on your skin

And in the April showers
