“The Whispering Wind
It’s normal that you shed a tear
When first I took my leave
But know that I am happy here
No need for you to grieve
The beauty that’s surrounding me
Would take your breath away
There’s colors that I can’t describe
The air’s a sweet bouquet
There’s nothing to forgive
Don’t lay your heart upon the past
Just let our memories live
And though your earthly eyes can’t see
Believe that I am there
Whenever you feel the whispering wind
Flow gently through your hair
I’m there when fireflies light the dark
When candles mark a year
I’m there when you are far from home
And when you need an ear
I’m always just a thought away
Our souls could never part
Connected for eternity
Forever in your heart”
So deadly sorry for your loss.
So very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love you
