There will come a day when I’m not there,
my love, I hope you won’t mourn forever.
For I’ll always be here, by your side,
when I’m in your thoughts, in that late night,
when the grief crests, and the ache starts
to rise, dark and deep and threatening
to sink you, close your eyes and remember,
beloved, not time, nor distance, nor death
can keep me far away, for I am here,
in thoughts, in memories, in mind,
and will have life eternal.
Beautiful concept and reassuring words about communication even after death. I loved the flow of the poem. My favourite line, ” when the grief crest and the ache starts/ Very visual!
