Forever

When she thinks she's gone forever.... She really isn't

You’re gone…
Forever

That’s what they say
But are you?

****

As I sit upon my windowsill
A butterfly swoops to my side

It’s wings a bright yellow
And its eyes a familiar blue

You stare at me
Showing no signs of fear

I put my hand out
Hoping maybe it would climb on

And it did!
It clasped itself upon my left finger

I  held up my hand
To let it fly away

As it did
I took one last look

Watching it gracefully fly away
Into the light blue sky

And once it was out of sight
It hit me like a bag of rocks!

It was her
Our beautiful Jeannie!

They had been wrong
She wasn’t gone

She was here to stay
Forever....

Author's Note

I wrote this to my family and I who have recently just lost a loved one... Hope it means as much to me as it does to anyone who reads this!

And Jeannie you wont ever be forgotten! We love you so much!

Our beautiful Jennie!

Love the sense of hope in this poem, so amazing the way you saw this too. It was really beautiful, touching actually. Adored the dedication, it was so sweet, and she'd appreciated. Loved it, loved it loved it! Bravo!

this is absolutey beautiful~ touches ever so lightly the reader's heart like the wings of your butterfly~ and I perceive the world in much the same way~ no one ever really goes away completely~ there are the most brilliant vestiges of them all around just waiting to be recognized~ =)~ this poem is a pure embrace~
