My Spirit Is Free Poem by Jody L. Moody

I am still here,
Please do not mourn for me,
I am still here,
Though you cannot see.

I am right by your side,
Each night and day,
And within your heart,
I long to stay.

My body is gone,
Yet I am always near,
I am everything you feel,
See and hear.

My spirit if free,
Yet I will never depart,
Just as long as you keep me,
Alive in your heart.

I will never wander,
Out of your sight,
I am the brightest star,
That shines in the night.

I will never be,
Far beyond your reach,
I am the warm moist sand,
When you are out on the beach.

I am the colourful flower,
Of which you are so fond,
And the clear waters,
That be-stills in a pond.

I am the first bright blossom,
You will see in the spring,
And the first elegant rainbow,
That April will bring.

I am the first ray of light,
When the sun starts to shine,
Look deep and far above,
That face on the moon is mine.

I will whisper my answers,
Through the limbs of the trees,
And you will always feel my presence,
In the soft summer breeze.

I am the warm salty tears,
That flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams,
That come when you sleep.

I am the smile you see,
On each and every face,
I am the beauty of a song,
That is sung in praise.

I am just shortly beneath,
Every voice you may hear,
That will give you advice,
And lift you with cheer.

I am the whistling wind,
That will blow through you hair,
So just look for me,
Because I am everywhere.
