I'll Always Be Here

I'll Always Be Here

Marie, your time is drawing near

You hear the Angels call, yet you're still here

You see and hear those who passed before

Heaven waits for you, and there's so much more

Such a gentle soul, kind and very sweet

A wonderful cousin, one that can't be beat

Always loved our chats, whenever I would call

You were always open minded, never had a wall

You also felt you could confide in me

Subjects no one else could hear, no one else could see

I hear your gentle voice whisper in my ear

"It's time to leave my body, but I'll always be here"

She'll come into your dreams, when you need her there

So keep an open mind, and always be aware

If you sense her presence around, on any given day

She's come to be with you, she's not really gone away

If you wake at night, and see her by your bed

It is really her, only her body is what's dead

Her spirit lives on, and is always around

With her family and friends, is where she will be found

Marie, I know you know I've written you this poem

As your family and the Angels take you back home

I thank God, for such a gentle soul

For this wonderful cousin, that I came to know

This is for my wonderful cousin
