The Light Beyond: Are you still there?

Are you still there?

The talented paulmot on the Light Beyond bereavement forum recently posted this moving poem he wrote after the death of his father:

Are you still there?

9 weeks have passed by
Your life issues nearly completed
Your affairs coming to conclusions
You have left us here, rudderless

You gave us direction
you supplied us affection
You handed us reflection

You made us as we are
You gave us what we have
You prepared us to be strong

You set us upon our way
you guided us along the way
You chided us in our ways

I hope you are being directed
I hope you are being prepared
I hope you are on your way

I hope you know
You are still here
You are in all of us
