When I'm gone
2008/11/02
When I am no longer here, know that I will always be with you.
My family and loved ones.
When you think of me now and then-
I will be there.
You will feel me in the breeze on your face on a hot summers day
You will feel me in the passion invoked while listening to soft music.
Look up, into the sky- see me- I am the clouds drifting across the sky,
the birds chirping in the trees,. The stars that you see......
They will all be me.
Think of me- I'll help you anyway I can.
I will bring a smile to your lips -
And you'll be at peace.
Know that my love for you is for an Eternity,
My vows I have given, I do not take lightly.
Across the Veil- I will be watching and waiting-
Think of me, feel me - for I am here
Walk on the beach for me, feel the sand in your toes.
Let the water caress you.
Let the music fill you
and let nature give you Solace.
Live as me- Live for me.
Live the lessons of peace and contentment
that I tried to teach you.
For in knowing all of you- I have been blessed
When I am gone- my request to you all-
Live. Feel it all. Experience it all
But most of all- Just be.
~Ana Sokol~
