When a loved one crosses over
To the other side
We all sense the feeling of loss
The tears a struggle to hide
Gone forever
That physical presence
An overwhelming emotion
To reach for their essence
But a familiar voice
There within your heart
A comforting feeling
Never to depart
Your loved one
Only a heartbeat away
Whenever you’re missing them
Every night and day
Feel them with you
Their pride that you are
Giving you their strength
Strong at heart
