I watch you every day, I am always very near, I know deep in your heart you realize I am here, I watch you as you sleep in your bed at home, I hear you when you speak to me, when you are on your own, you cannot understand the reason why I have gone, But I will never leave you. I am here to keep you strong, talk to me I hear you, though you may not see, we share an unbroken bond that will always be. Death won’t keep us apart, for our love is forever, just remember me in you heart and one day we will be together. Live your life and live it full, don’t waste a single day. Remember I am always with you every step of the way. By: John F Conner
