I am Still Here

I Am Still Here

From here the sky is only blue

and from here the sun shines always

in this place right next to you

I bask in the warmest sun rays

It turns out heaven isn't in the sky

as the prophets liked to preach

but next to those we love the most

such that we're always within reach

It may seem like I've been gone too long

and I  wonder if you knew

I've not been gone an instant

for I've been ever here with you

It is so free where I am now

and I'm an angel to you all

I'm here to catch the saddest ones

and those about to fall

If it is a sign of proof you seek

that I didn't wander far

I am in the face of the sun

the flower, not the star

I could have picked a butterfly

or perhaps a rainbow's hues

but the biggest bloom of brightest colour

is the symbol that I choose.

Even midst the whitest winter months

when flowers aren't the norm

I'll find a way to send you one

in some mystical magical form

Watch for me in flower beds

as well as places unexpected

for the love we shared upon the earth

crossed over unaffected!

Loved ones never leave for we are all pure love at our depths and love never dies
