David George writes this sweet poem about the remembrance of his beloved wife. Many who experience a loss talk of seeing their loved one or feeling their presence in places both expected and unexpected. Sad and bitter-sweet are these brushes with those that passed on, but important to remembering their spirit and what they meant to us while on earth.

I’ve Seen Her

I’ve seen my love; I’ve seen her pass,

She walks with such a grace.

She turned and smiled across at me,

The sun upon her face.

And I could swear I caught the scent,

The fragrance of her hair.

Could I believe should I believe,

Her spirit blessed me there?

Her eyes so bright, they shone with love,

No pain to cloud them now,

And when she laughed, no line was seen,

Across that perfect brow.

Oh love, if you would only wait,

Beyond the tears and pain,

We’ll walk together, hand in hand,

In love,

In peace,

Again.

- David George, August 2005
