Here is a day, a life, a breath, and a heart beat so live

by tandamya   Aug 9, 2008


Here is a day,
just another day,
that you will not see,
that you can not see,
that will stop you from being who you are,
that will stop you from living your life,

it can stop you lighting up the world,
and making people laugh,
it can stop the sun setting,
and the moon from lighting,
it can stop the first light and the last,

the problem is that though you can not live you keep living,
and although you can not see you keep seeing,
and even though we want you here so much,
there is no way that you can be,
because you can't be any where,

you keep living in us,
you keep watching over us,
and although you are no longer with us,
we still hear your laugh,
and we still see the sun rise and set,

and each day begins and ends,
even though you aren't here to see it,
and each breath we take is just a little deeper,
because we are breathing for you,
and each beat of our heart is just a little louder,
so that we no that just because you aren't here it still beats,

each day comes and goes,
and we don't see your face,
but we no that you see each day,
because you watch over us,
and as you have watched over us in life and now in death,
we live for you the one that can not live at all.
