I’ll miss you
Like the stars when they don’t shine
I’ll miss you
The lady who looked so fine
I’ll miss you
Like the white that’s faded grey
I’ll miss you
Like a daffodil gone in May
I’ll miss you
Like the bird that’s lost a wing
I’ll miss you
Like a jaguar without spring
I see you
In a rainbow that’s just found light
I see you
When London comes alight
I see you
When an athlete’s spark is shown
I see you
When a child’s mind is fully grown
I see you
In the achiever, the doer, the person on the go
I see you
In a dancer, graceful with elegance and flow
I hear you
Blowing in the trees, moving with the air
I hear you
In a person who shows such flair
I hear you
When I’m tired of not fulfilling my dream
I hear you
Guiding, directing me towards the beam
I hear you
In the echo of the wind and wall
I hear you
Clearly, in my thoughts, most of all
I feel you
When your presence is there tingling in my hands and toes
I feel you
When the air turns cool and soft just above my nose
I feel you
Deep inside my soul, body and mind
I feel you
Just there, unconditionally, not hard to find
I feel you
Giving, loving to each and every one of us and sharing
I feel you
Listening and speaking, you are the special person who never stops caring
I know you
Will be listening to all of this
I know you
Will find heaven such bliss
I know you
Will miss your family and friends
I know you
Will find love and freedom that never ends
