YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE

YOU KEPT YOUR PROMISE

On an August morning not so long ago.
I was making myself busy, starting
to run my errands for the day.

The sun was brightly shining. It was
a beautiful day.I felt more lite and
happier than usual.

I had just left my home, driving my
car. I was alone, windows open, when
suddenly a cool breeze blew in my face.

I felt a presence enter the car, taking
up space in the passengers seat.I
felt someone in the car with me.
I instantly glanced in that direction
to check. The seat was empty, but the
presence was strong and lingered for
several seconds.

Thoughts began to run through my mind.
I remembered words once spoken to me. "I
will never leave you, like your shadow,
I'll be with you always, I promise." I
whispered something in return.

Just as quickly as it came, it was gone.
I was emotionally spent. Tears filled my
eyes. I was forced to stop the car, and
gain my composure.

Oh face of yesterday, you kept your promise.
