A letter to those who have passed

When you go, the color of the skies will remind me of your eyes
And the seasons will become the feelings you hold so dear;
I will no longer know the wind as anything else but your breath,
And the aroma of the flowers in the garden will become your scent.
 
Your mother remembers the laughter you had given all of us
And the tears that streamed down your cheeks
She calls out your name in the morning
She still does, and from now on, she always will.
 
Forgive yourself for all the mistakes you counted in life
Allow yourself to be wrong. Allow yourself to be alive;
For as long as the dawn reminds us of the goodness you bring
You will always be alive. You will always be in our hearts.
 
We can hear your voice when your whispers come with the wind
I'm sure you're sending all of us letters of love,
Stories about all the wonderful times you're having right now
And the golden days of an eternity.
 
Remember to smile. We are always with you as you are with us.
The night comes but memories will never fade.
 
Struggle is temporary, but love will always be with all of us
Wherever you may go, wherever you may be,
 
On this Earth, or in heaven free,
I know in my heart, you will always always be with me.
