I read this today and I thought how lovely 🥰
💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍💛🤍💛
There's a robin on my fence today
A feather by my feet
A heart-shaped leaf that blows along
Beside me down the street
Your song played on the radio
This morning in the car
And just last night I could've sworn
I saw a shooting star
The sun and rain are dancing
Making rainbows in the sky
And on the slightest breeze I watch
A butterfly go by
And people might say these are not
The signs I know they are
That it is just coincidence
Your song played in the car
That it is just the sky
And it is just the birds and breeze
A little windy weather
And the nature of the trees
But there is nothing little
About the way they make me feel
The sense of peace they carry
Is both comforting and real
Because it's just one song
And just one feather and bird
Just one star and just one leaf
In one enormous world
And so the probability
Of noticing it all
Is close to nearly nothing;
Almost infinitely small
And that is how I know
That when that feather floats into view
It isn't a coincidence,
But a sign of love from you

FEEL NO GUILT IN LAUGHTER
Feel no guilt in laughter, she’d know how much you care.
Feel no sorrow in a smile that she is not here to share.
You cannot grieve forever; she would not want you to.
She’d hope that you could live your life the way you always do.
So, talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
the days you spent together, all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, a word someone may say
will suddenly recapture a time, an hour or a day,
that brings her back as clearly as though she were still here,
and fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
and she will live forever locked safely within your heart 💛

Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant; it is the same as it ever was.
