Close At Hand Poem by Audrey Heller

With the hurricane approaching, I asked
you to watch over us and keep us out of
harms way. I felt your spirit around me, as
you kept me calm, that day. Not for a
moment, did I feel anxious or worried. I
knew, you were close at hand. It's a very
special feeling, most people, would not
understand. There were times, things
could have happened and didn't, I'm
certain, you were there. Even though
physically you're not present, you have
a way of letting me know, you care. As
the storm subsided, no damage had
occurred. It was you, who made sure I
would be all right. So thank you dad,
for watching over me. I know, I'm
going to sleep very peacefully, tonight!
