Broken hearts mend slowly.
It takes time to heal a wound.
When what was had you now have lost,
By grief you are consumed.

See not the shell that’s left behind
When one you lost has now departed.
Focus on the love you shared
The high vibrations that you started.

This energy stays with you
Even though the person stands no more.
And no longer can you see them
When they pass through Heaven’s door.

But in your heart their love remains,
If not their touch and gaze.
Though try you might to see them
In oh, so many ways.

The grief will lift, the heart will mend,
But always will you miss them,
For you focus on the things you’ve lost …
The fact that you can’t kiss them.

They’re here, we say, held safe and sound.
So speak their name aloud.
And know that they are by your side,
Not floating on some cloud.

For spirit are you here and now
As is the one who left.
Not lost, not gone, but still with you.
With no need to be bereft.
