I'm Still Here

Mother, 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 quit 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, Mother, I'm everyplace!
