A Message from My Wife (Imagined)

 

You’ve asked many times –

Am I happy

Am I at peace

Am I at one with God.

My love, be assured that I am all that and more

 

Although I’m no longer with you

In the physical sense,

I am everywhere.

I’m in a painting,

In a landscape,

A song we once listened to.

 

I’m part of a running stream,

I’m at one with the sky.

Most of all, in a very special way,

I’m still with you.

 

I’ve left behind the petty worries,

The old grudges,

The things that don’t matter.

All that I am now

Lies is my wish to share and spread His love.

 

Don’t cry for me, and…

Don’t forget our times or our happiness,

Learn what you can from all this.

 

Please, make a new life for yourself,

 

Because I have to move on, too.
