Signs

For every tear you cry, mum,

I will send you a smile,

And memories of sunlit fun

Will comfort you a while.

I need to let you know I’m there,

Because you only half believe,

But many things with you I share

To prove I’ll never leave.

Rainbows, that after showers shine,

White feathers, fluttering to the ground,

Heed these as my loving signs

Which tell you that I’m still around.

The dancing flight of butterflies,

Or echoes of my voice you hear,

Should not disturb you or surprise

They are proof that I am near.

For every sleepless night you spend,

I’ll give you dreams to cherish,

To show you that there is no end

I’ve moved on; but do not perish.

And in the quiet of evening’s calm,

When milling thoughts subside,

I’ll surround you with my light, like balm

Forever now, I am by your side.
