After Forever

After forever when I can no longer be here
When memories start to fade don't fret I'll always be near my dear
An evening while out fishing, feeling lonely because it's me your missing
That's one of the very best times to be reminiscing
I'll be right there beside you with each cast of your fishing pole
As you sit fishing in one  of my favorite honey holes
When you feel the warmth upon your face from the sun
It's a kiss and caress of my hand for you Hun
When you find yourself chilly due to the weather
That snug tight fit is me hugging you just like your sweater
When the gentle breeze lightly tickles as it blows through your hair
It's a sign from me letting you know that I'm there
When you hear the birds and crickets playing their songs
I'm singing for you too, in your heart I've been there all along
With the creeks steady peaceful flow
My love will be with you wherever you go
When you smell the scent of pine in the air
That's me pining for you, letting you know I still care
I'll be your cloud cover when the fish bite the best
Always protecting you, I'll be that eagle soaring high above its nest
When you start to fade to grey and you feel your heart begin to break
I'll add a splash of color and be the beautiful vibrant flower pedals you see beside the lake
If grief overcomes you in the midst of a storm and frozen on a standstill your numb with too much pain
I'll be raindrops of encouragement enticing you to dance in the rain
Don't think like the salmon that we had a great run
Our precious time together will never be done
Tall, proud, and strong like a solid oak tree
Let all of these things remind you of me
While sitting on  the bank watching a beautiful sunset
I'll be the waves crashing over you, you'll never forget
If you decide to go out on your boat
I'll be your life vest that will help keep you afloat 
Out fishing in nature is where we'd share some of our very best dates
You had me hook, line, and sinker, didn't need any bait
For you my loves, in heaven you're all well worth the wait
You will always be my fishing partners and very best mates
On evenings when the fish just won't bite
I'll be the stars that help guide you home and light up your night
I'll be the silhouette you see dance across the water from the light of the moon
Don't be in a hurry to get back to me too soon
When you catch a fish and think back to how I'd always catch the best ones
Your right, it's you and our kids and after forever when you's catch up we'll have even more fun
