I'm still here daughter; Please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near. I'm everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart as long as you keep me alive in your heart. I'll never wander out of your sight ~ I'm the brightest star on a summer night. I'll never be beyond your reach ~ I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach. I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around and the pure white snow that blankets the ground. I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond, The clear cool water in a quiet pond. I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring, The first warm raindrop that April will bring. I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine, and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine. When you start thinking there's no one to love you, you can talk to me through the Lord above you. I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees, and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze. I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep. I'm the smile you see on a baby's face. Just look for me, daughter I'm everyplace!

Vicki, Thank you so much for this post. I really miss my mom and this helps me to realize she is still with me. Spring time is the hardest for me.

Elsie- I liked it a lot too. I still have my mom (thank you, Lord!) but I sure miss her mom, my wonderful grama. I've always just gotten through missing her by just talking to her as if she were still here. Not every time, but a lot of times I get a "response" somehow, a feeling, or a sign or something to let me know she's there and heard me. By the way, her name is Elsie too. I always called her Grama Elsie and loved her with all my heart! Spring is the best time to see and connect with her! Can't you just see your mom in all the new flowers and all the renewing of everything? Try it and see if it helps. You're in my prayers.
