I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
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 the 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 through 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 while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

I don't recall ever seeing this one before. I think it's one of the best. Thanks so much for posting it.

When Sadie died, I decided that the first star I see every night would be Sadie's Star. To this day, when I'm out at night, I look up, and there she is, twinkling at me. We have nice chats, and she feels so close.

That is a wonderful poem... I lost my oldest dog Woobie of 15 yrs (non newf) in June 2002 and recently had to send my oldest female Sasha (non newf) to rainbow bridge in January....They were a part of my life for sooo long...and being single...you count on your animals for everything...
I have my 3 newfs now and a chow mix and a besengi mix...although my oldest are gone they are always in my heart...
Thankyou again for sharing that poem...
