Draw strength from this, my child
That though my arms cannot hold you
You are enfolded in my love
My thoughts reach out
To swirl around you
Can you feel my love?
Do not cry my dear one
Do not grieve or mourn
My essence I am sending to you
In the notes of my song
Draw strength from me, my dear one
For I have lived and loved so long
Let my words caress your heart
And know, that together or apart
We cannot be divided
We have been one from the very start
Nothing can come between us
And though I too yearn for you
I know this storm shall pass
It will not last forever
Soon we shall all be home
So, take comfort in my message
Be brave, dearest one, be strong
And before we know it
We will be back where we belong
I have no words for this one Carol. It is so poignant. Yet beautiful

Carol, Your poem is so moving – extremely personal and universal at the same time.
