Close to my heart
I pray and make my wish very clear,
Hoping that one day you will appear.
Conjured up by pink and green fairies;
So that means we can surf through the air.
With a wave of a wand and some pixie dust,
We can go ride unicorns just like we discussed.
Of course, you said no because of your old bones.
But with closed eyes we could sail through the sky like drones.
I would take away your worries and we will have fun,
And no one can stop us because we shine like the sun.
Your presence I wish I can feel to this day,
It’s been almost three years since you’ve gone away.
I wish with everything in me I had a fairy,
I’d fly up to heaven in a magical ferry.
But I can’t be selfish and bring you back,
When you are already home and nothing you lack.
I can’t bring you back with me,
Because you are where you are meant to be.
And if you come with me,
You will never be free.
You believed in me before I did,
Even when I was just a kid.
So, you inspire me to keep going
Even when I feel lost and unknowing.
You showed me how to believe in myself,
By putting myself doubt on the shelf.
I hold you close to my heart,
Because I know your spirit will never depart.
Thank you for being the best you can be
So I can soar and show you who you raised me to be.Voting is closed

Kevya, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing someone so close to you can be extremely challenging to cope with. It is so comforting to know that even though the person may be gone, the memories that you made with them will live on forever. A single person can teach us so many things and bring us so much joy. I am glad you experienced a person like this for you. ♥

Kevya, I am sorry for you loss. This piece is beautiful. And so well-written. You are soaring with this person you lost just by living your best life and being happy. So keep flying high. The more you do, the more the ones above show you they are near. Sending hugs. <3 Lauren
