I Am With You
by

for Dad
Listen, you can hear me:
In the beat of drum pounding surf,
In the song of rain on the roof,
In the voice of a thousand choirs,
In loved ones laughter that lasts for hours.
Look, you can see me:
On dancing waters wide and blue,
On sunset skies of brilliant hue,
On jagged mountains blanketed by snow
On shining faces of those you know.
Pay attention, you can feel me:
In the touch of those you love,
When you pray to God above,
In the winds gentle kiss on your hair from a breeze,
In the warmth of the sun shining through the trees.
When you think of me, do not grieve.
I am with you. I did not leave.
