Although you cannot see me, I am there If you look around, I am everywhere.

I am in the stars that shine so bright, I love you with all my might.

I am in the sky so clear and blue,

Remembering the good times, I had with you.

I am in the trees full and green,

Heaven is the most beautiful thing I’ve seen.

I am surrounded by everlasting light,

It is very beautiful and bright.

From today you have done all you can, letting me go is part of the plan.

Please dry those tears,

And wipe away those fears.

I feel no pain anymore,

Only love fills my core.

My spirit is free to be,

Flying high for all to see.

Angels surround me every day,

They tell me everything will be okay.

As I watch you from the cloud, You make me very proud.

Although you cannot see me, I am there If you look around, I am everywhere.

Yvonne Cagey
