Poems

Not far away
by

Jacklynn MacKenzie

I am always close beside you
I am never far away -
I am close as your heartbeat, Mom
Each hour of the day.
Though you cannot see me,
I know you feel me near,
Though I do not speak to you -
Though my voice you do not hear.

I'm there when buds burst forth
Beneath Springtime's warming sun,
And in the Summer, I am close by
As you walk beside the seashore
Under the clear blue sky.

In the Autumn when leaves are falling,
I am close beside you, Mom;
I am just a whisper away from you
As the north wind is gently calling.
In Winter's falling snow I am there -
I walk beside you everywhere;
We're never, ever far apart,
For I am always in your heart.

So Mother, Dear, don't cry for me,
I'm now a part of Infinity;
Beyond the grasp of human hand,
I'm here with God in His Heavenly land.

But I'm always close beside you -
I am never far away -
You'll always feel me near you Mom
'Till in Heaven we're reunited someday.
