I’ll Be There
by David Johnson
Death, to me, is not an end
It’s but one step of my journey
You think I’m gone, but I’ll press on
And be there by your side
I’m not just happy memories
That you may gladly resurrect
No longer flesh and blood, you know
But much much more than you suspect
I’ll be there, my dear with you each day
Still caring, sharing, vigilant
Until that day you can stand alone
And proudly take your chosen path
I’m the raindrops on your windowpane
The perfume in the evening breeze
The pollen on a springtime day
I’ll always be beside you
You made me whole, you shared your love
And now you feel alone and spent.
As you try to make some sense of this
While wondering where life’s magic went
You shared my journey, graced our home
And made it such a happy place
But rest assured, I’m with you now
In spirit through God’s grace
And to my friends and loved ones dear,
Please hearken to my words this day,
And keep me in your memories
I’ll naught be far away
