I play with my child and glimpse your face
just a soft glow in the corner of my world.
I walk toward you, heart first,
but in a heartbeat you fade into the air.
Still, I feel you near
your love circling me like quiet light,
your blessings resting on my every step.
Happy am I to meet you in that secret place,
where night remembers what life forgets.
Let such dreams return again and again,
holding me with the warmth only you can give.
