“Believe me”!

Do you know where I live?

Realms or levels, whatever they are called,

Uplifted from this world,

I sit here to watch over you.

Not there where you are,

Yet, around.

Believe me…

I am the breeze that soothes you burning cheeks.

I am the quietness of the lonely late-night drives.

I am the kind words you share with strangers.

I am in the surprise hug that soothes your aches.

I am in the laughter of the daughters you are raising.

I am in the love you don’t ever give up.

I am in the tears you hide from everyone.

I am in the songs you sing aloud.

I am in the diaries tucked away in hidden boxes.

I am in the words you speak while standing strong.

I am in the fight you refuse to give up.

But I mostly live in the stories you tell your children.

I am everywhere, my sweetheart!

Believe me!
