Would You Be Proud

Would you be proud,
would you tell me out loud
If you were still on this Earth ? 
Would your eyes well with tears,
would you smile and say “ cheers “ 
would you feel I am someone of worth ? 

Would you wrap me up tight in your arms with delight ?
Would you see that I now have a purpose?
Would you now believe 
it was so hard to leave my old life that resembled a circus ?

Would your heart swell with love ?
would I fit like a glove 
into the family you nurtured ?

Would you tell all your friends ?
would your love never end 
now you see that my prospects I furthered ? 

I see you in dreams and your face seems to beam with that beauteous light that surrounds you . 

I just pray that you see , that there’s lots more to me 
than the girl that you left far behind you . 

Could you be close  by ? 
Are you near when I cry
In the wind softly drying my tears ?
Could it be your embrace ?
Is the sun on my face ?
Stroke my arm when I’m facing my fears ? 

Would you gift me a sign that you’re hearing my rhyme? 
That my words have been able to touch you ? 

Every moment I relished,
conversations I cherish.
How I wish I could reach out and clutch you.

Though you have now gone 
your wise words linger on,
they’re engraved in my mind now forever.

Through the veil that divides,
This tie will survive.
I’ll not let our bond ever sever.
