For a treasured soul

Press play and let the music wash over you as you read.

Salute.

Our love

Went beyond the physical

Instead it

Still lives in the spiritual

I've never opened

The doorways

Of my soul

To another

Not even to

My beloved mother

Just remember

I'll always loved

That inquisitive mind

Funny sometimes

Soul-soothing

Like no other

You'll always be a rock

A shining diamond

I'll always treasure

In my memory's

Coat pocket

A shining stone

I met for the Almighty

Blessed me

For some say

I'm so lucky

I'll always love

Your sweet

Exquisite lullabies

To treasure

Until eternity

For you'll

Always be

A diamond within

My beautiful memories

For we are but

Echoes

From the same fraternity

Maybe the Almighty

Sent me to be part

Of your life

For he knew of

A painful future

Which was to come

Maybe it's why

Our time

Together has now

Been outrun

For you have

Now found a new strength

As your faith

Has been reborn

I dreamed of a shining

Shimmering star

Last night

As I visited the Astral

Realms

I knew you would be

Fine

As I watched from afar

If you ever needed

A friend to love

You in your hour

Of need

Always remember

Me

From a realm

Lying in-between

We were once residents

Of a place

Beyond

Time and space

Just two

Lonely souls

Brought together

By the Almighty's

Grace

For that

Gift

I'll always

Feel blessed

When I think of

You

Wherever you

Are

But especially

When I see that familiar

Beautiful famous face

Good night and keep

Smiling

You are and have always

Been loved

By me and many more

Never feel alone
