Forever Tracey-She Never Stopped Loving Me

I was born before her-
but she existed 
long before my life's debut.
Ancient Spirit.......
Old Soul!....Really Old Soul!
The "Great I AM"
knows her as "Tracey, You AM!"
As a young girl she was giving advice
to adults.......
they would listen and take it to heart!
SERIOUSLY!!!
That was a sign!
She was always there.....
ALWAYS-
but I wasn't!
M.I.A. dad was my status.
There's that voice again.....
"But she never stopped loving me-
She NEVER stopped loving me!"

She kept growing,
and I......
was not there.
Time does not have a 
"recapture lost moments" 
in life button,
and we don't have the ability 
to see memories
that we weren't present
to help create!
Sporadic contact of that nature
should be a punishable offense!
Capital punishment 
for detrimental treatment
of a young girl's heart!
That voice.......
that voice keeps saying-
"But she never stopped loving me!-
She NEVER stopped loving me!"

As her growing stature 
started catching up 
with her way out in front maturity
and the male species
found her attractive....
when I should have been there
with an axe handle in the left hand
and a "Louisville" slugger in the right-
I wasn't there.......
I WAS NOT THERE!
I hear it again.....
that voice keeps saying-
"But she never stopped loving me!-
She NEVER stopped loving me!"

Educated, very intelligent, 
very spiritually insightful,
a true "daughter of GOD"....
and I.
HE blessed me with her!
I would ALWAYS be in her prayers!
I COULD FEEL THIS THING!!......
but I couldn't put my finger on it
to understand it!
Even when time would pass by
without a word from me
she would ask HIM to keep me safe
and hoped one day, one day 
I would come to HIM!
Unbeknownst to me
my steps in this life
were being guided by her
with HIS help!
Yeah.......That's right-
The other way around!
The "Great I AM".......
HE was listening to her!!!
WOW!........
Talk about being connected!
Where is this voice coming from?????-
"But she never stopped loving me!-
She NEVER stopped loving me!"

In time I felt this-
(I really don't know how
to describe it)
tug from deep within and
something started happening to me!
"What the.......
WHAT IS GOING ON???"
I blurted out within!
Next thing I knew 
I was coming to HIM
requesting HIS assistance
in keeping my steps
on the straight and narrow path!
Now I know........
I NOW KNOW 
HE WAS LISTENING TO HER!!!
She had both of HIS ears
and HIS undivided attention
because not only was I guided to HIM
without reservation, mind you,
but HE put us back together
with a "godly spiritual superglue"
that only HE uses
and it can't be bought nor found
anywhere in this world!
Though I can't change the past
I CAN determine now, 
(with HIS guiding hand)
the future!
I keep hearing that voice
saying over and over and over-
"But she never stopped loving me!-
She NEVER stopped loving me!"

Geographically,
there is distance now
but this high tech world has erased that!
She has "absolute eminent domain"
in my heart and on my mind
these days!
She is never more than
a heartbeat's thought
away from me now-
even at this very moment!
We talk....we text....and we email!
We email....we text....and we talk!
Testimony to the modern wonders 
of mankind!
??? Ever smile so much
at the sound of a voice
that the corners
of your mouth
touch together
at the back of your head?!?!?
Mine do.....
weird sight!

Everyday now while kneeling
and with head bowed
I say "THANK YOU" to HIM
for doing what only
HE COULD DO,
DID DO and CAN DO!
YOU know who YOU are and.......
"YOU ARE TRULY AWESOME!"
And that voice-
that voice
that kept repeating on a loop 
between my heart and my mind,
I know it was she
whispering in YOUR ear-
"Today, don't forget to tell him!-
Ok, don't forget to tell him!"
(I can hear her asking)
.......AND YOU DIDN'T!!!
YOU have told me to ALWAYS remember
and repeat over and over
and over again......
"But she never stopped loving me!-
She NEVER stopped loving me!
