The Presence of You

My gentle reminders
Are the birds in the sky
As they leave earth and fly
Become part of up high.

I hear your whisper
As the breeze sways the trees
As the wind moves the leaves
Across earth where they're free.

When I see the sunshine
Your beauty appears
Amid the starlight
Your smile hides tears.

And when I awake at night
Calling your name
My fears all abandon
Your comfort remains.

I miss you so badly
For day after day
And remember the moments
When we used to play.

But the missing is mine
And all those that you loved
Your adventure continues
Among angels above.

So when you come visit
Please let me see
That you are the butterfly
Or the bird in the tree.

And I'll look at the beauty
Of this world all around
And remember your loving
Embrace not my frown.

That way I'll see you
All Around me in beauty
And remember your life
For who you were, truly.
