A stranger you are not
A stranger is someone we’ve never met
But that’s not what I would call you
For the love from others has made me know you
Even though our paths have never crossed
Our spirits are connected through universal love
Tied together by fond remembrances of you
And cherished by those left behind
Missing you and desiring your smiling face
Wishing you were here to ease the pain
Saying goodbye…the chance that was never given
But saying hello is a blessing that can be given every day
Memories transferred to me through your spirit
Of connecting with your loved ones
Left behind without the chance to know what you’d be like
20 years later how much would you have changed
Making your presence known in a way we only understand
We listen for you daily, searching for our clues
Letting you know you are missed
but letting go
letting go of the hurt and pain of things said and unsaid
carrying it around like shackles around our ankles
unable to move forward
unable to stay still
Although we’ve never met
I know you through your life that you lived
And I can’t wait to see you face to face
Look you in the eyes
And tell you
“It’s wonderful to meet you”
