Never AloneHow comfortable it is to know,I am never aloneI feel the presence of the loved

ones,I have known.I feel them when I hear, a certain

song, when I see a smile that seemsfamiliar

In a gentle hug like those I oftenreceived from my parents.

Throughout the years I’vesometimes asked a friend for the giftof an item, from their home, fromtheir cupboard.

A dish covered with lace androses, a goofy looking bird, a daintyhandkerchief, an old photograph.

These things remind me that “MyLife Is Full”

and with the Blessings frommy Creator,

that I am Never Ever Really“All Alone”.
