Suntan by Debbie

Friend please don’t
mourn for me
I am still here
though you don’t see.
I am right by your side
each night and day
and within your heart
I long to stay.
My body is gone
but I am always near.
I am everything you feel
see or hear.
My spirit is free
but I will never depart
as long as you keep
me alive in your heart.

I will never wander
out of your sight-
I am the brightest star
on a summer night.
I will never be
beyond your reach-
I am the warm moist sand
when you’re at the beach.

I am the colorful leaves
when fall comes around
and the pure white snow
that blankets the ground.
I am the beautiful flowers
of which you’re so fond
The clear cool water
in a quiet pond.

I am the first bright blossom
you’ll see in the spring
The first warm raindrop
that April will bring.
I am the first ray of light
when the sun starts to shine
and you will 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 will whisper my answer
through the leaves on the trees
and you’ll feel my presence
in the soft summer breeze.

I am the hot salty tears
that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams
that come while you sleep.
I am the smile
you see on a baby’s face.
Just look for me friend
I am everyplace!

I can still feel you in my arms.
I can still feel
your heart beating.
I can still see you and smell you
now and forever.
Wait for me at the bridge
ok poochie?
I love you and I miss you so much
my baby my poochie poo
My Suntan
