still
here with me
his hand print remains
I see him
I hear him
I feel him
I miss him
I miss his smile
I miss his laugh
I miss his words
I miss his touch
yet still here with me
his legacy lives on
larger than life
in each whisper of grace
in each gaze of compassion
in each touch so tender
the shepherd's heart lives on
as seasons change from
summer to fall
colors vibrant
softly float to earth
trees once green turned golden red
leafs fallen
snow silently covers branches now empty
the shepherd's heart lives on
holding that shepherd's heart close to His own
is the heart of the One who
gives life
sustains life
brings life Home
that Shepherd's heart
beats strong
beats steady
underlying all of life
He knows hearts ache
when chairs are empty
my shepherd is safe in the arms of
The Shepherd
my shepherd had lived life long
and lived life well
shepherding sheep after sheep
looking always for the outcast one
broken one
bruised one
forsaken one
and this legacy lives on generation after generation
The Shepherd holds close to His heart
all who have transitioned from life on earth
to life in His presence
those He has called Home
need not have tears wiped away
for there are no more tears
and for those left behind
He does wipe tears
He gives gifts
in unexpected places
a whisper or sight or touch
from the one living in heaven
a gift of comfort and hope
to the one left behind
we will see them again
still here with us
