My mom died four years ago today,
amazing where the time has gone.
I try to imagine her life on the other side
and what she might be doing in heaven.
I picture the spirits of our loved ones
as being very near, on this earth somewhere
not seeable though sometimes their presence
is made known to us in dreams or feelings.
What would I want to say to her, if I could?
I pray for your happiness in your new setting.
Opportunities to develop the love you shared
with my dear father who left earth too soon.
I have not forgotten you but have your photo
in the locket I wear around my neck daily.
We are a forever family bound by covenants
and love that never ends-happily ever after.
