  • I Am Still Here

    May 30, 2013 12:00 am

    "Love believes all things

    and endures all things."

    I am here there and everywhere.

    My spirit is in the snowflakes

    that touch your face.

    The frost that nips at your nose.

    The sunlight rays that bring

    forth the warmth of a new day.

    The droplets of rain refreshing

    and cleansing a new day.

    I hear everything; I see everything.

    My spirit is in the wind that

    breezes through your beautiful hair.

    The cold air that freezes your toes.

    The moonlight that shines the darkness away.
