My Girls

They sit next to me
I can’t look at them very long or I’ll get the question
Why are you looking at me???
I can’t tell them in that moment my heart is exposed
But beating so beatifically to their rhythm
Their joys, frustrations and aspirations.
I remember when I was their age once
I see my mother’s eyes looking at me then too
That look
I wish you happiness, peace and love.
You will always be loved.
Don’t forget your worth
Bring it into every room you are in
And remember to share your story
Because you have so much to share.

Messages

Feeling the yearning for you and your voice today.
You and Dad and your presence here on Earth.
I lose my breath when I acknowledge you are both gone.
The loss is too immense,
How to hold it in my heart,
And still carry on about my day…
Where are you?
Some say you are in Heaven
What is Heaven?
Some place of peace and joy, I hope.
I rest easy knowing you are out of pain finally.
You are free!
You and Dad are free.
I see you both laughing now
With feelings of unimaginable joy,
And finally reunited.
I know you are both in cahoots
Sending all your five children
Messages daily to remind us
that you are here,
You are with us.
I see you high fiving each other
After one of you has sent a really good message;
A message so good that In our mortal
Souls we can’t help but know you are with us.
Please never leave and be available
In our back pockets
So that we can feel you
When we need it most.
