A Face Among The Seasons

Grandchild, please don’t mourn me I’m still here,
Though you don’t see.
I’m right by your side each night and day
And within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I’m always near,
I’m everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I’ll never depart.
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I’ll never wander out of your sight,
I’m the brightest star on a dark dreary night.
I’m the colourful leaves when Autumn’s around
And the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I’m the hot salty tears that flow when you weep,
And the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby’s face.
Just look for me, Grandchild, I’m every place.
