I Live On

 
 
I died but did not leave you.
I am here, and have not gone.
Though my spirit left my body
don’t be sad, for I live on.
 
My love is all around you.
Can you feel it? Can you see?
That gentle breeze upon your face
is not the wind…but me.
 
I’m the sweet song of a bluebird
when spring is in the air.
I’m the roses in a garden.
You can find me everywhere.
 
Whenever you are missing me
look up to heaven’s skies.
I’m the twinkle in the stars.
I’m the sunset, and sunrise.
 
I’m a raindrop and a rainbow.
I’m the ocean’s waves of blue;
So everywhere you go you’ll know,
I live on, loving you.

      This poem expresses so much and I wish to send to a young family who have just lost their dad, a young man in his 20s who suffered a critical injury in a work accident.

    We carry a framed print by Ron Tranmer-entitled, “I Live On” . I have a customer request for a pocket card or bookmark with this sentiment. Is this available in that format? I contacted Dexsa Company, where it came from but they don’t have it available. Thank you for your help in this matter.
