Take a breath

Written for my niece who lost her little girl in a drowning accident:

I know your anguish is for me

But take a breath and let it be

I am not far as you may think

Time nor space will break our link

I feel no pain and have no fear

I was with you shortly and hold it dear

You have more to do and lives to touch

my love for you is oh so much

So take a breath and hold it deep

Let it out and please don't weep

I am happy here, this new place I live

but you have so much more to give

I'll be here when it's your time

my heart is yours and yours is mine

So when you're sad and miss me so

Take a breath and always know

I am where I need to be

Smiling at all I see

So until I can hold your hand and bring you here

Live your life without fear

Happiness seems far away

But will get closer with each passing day

So take a breath and let it out

There are great things for you, have no doubt

In your reflection see my smile

I am part of you there is no denial

Our binding link is always there

Even though it seems unfair

There is a way to see it through

See me happy as you always do

and know when you smile, I smile too

... so take a breath

and let it out
