LOVE LASTS FOREVER THOUGH YOU ARE GONE (Poem #250)

Everywhere I look I'm reminded of you.
Twinkle of your eyes I see in morning dew:
Feeling a gentle caress, as by me little breezes blew.

The warm sun on my face is like your smile.
Even though you are gone, thoughts of you beguile.
When I feel lonely, I sit thinking of your for awhile.

Then once again I can walk with a spring,
As I greet each day eager for everything.
Abundance of life is what thoughts of you bring.

Though you are gone, you're not a thing of the past
For in my heart you will forever last
Inspiring me to sale on raising up my mast.
