If I could stay

If I could stay

If i could stay,
then,
you would find me
in the dew
upon spring buds in April,
upon the raindrops of life
on springtimes showers,
inside the gold
of leaf fall autumn,
and leaping from shadows
to greet the dawn
gazing skyward
ever skyward.
Find me spellbound before
stormy crashing breakers.
Running with infants
joining in their joyous games.
There upon the smiles
of young loves lips
and inside the eyes
of old contentment.
Along each highway of adventure
towing a trailer of goodwill.
At rest between the amber flakes
of rust upon yesterdays autos.
And in the eyes, your eyes
which see the love
in this beautiful world.

Honestly, I don't know what I could say to do this work justice. The tone and feel is utterly beautiful and melancholy ...the last words that we would all like to utter to our loved ones as we die so they could live in peace with our death. Pinned x

I'm very much a solitary person and there wouldn't be many remembering me. But i have two beautiful granddaughters who i sometimes write for and I really had them in mind (or the adults they will become) when I wrote this.
With the pandemic and my immune system a bit wrecked by chemotherapy I haven't been able to see much of them though sadly
