A PICTURE THAT LIVES ON MY PHONE...

As I sit in my bed amidst little hands and feet ..
I turn to my phone that just beeped ...
Battery down ...
Down but not out ...

I pick it up ...
Flick through photos I have collected of many a times..
Places, people,food,flowers and more..
Meadows, blue skies and a lake shore ..
I have such beautiful warm memories of yore ...
I watch videos ..
I laugh ..
And I go through pictures of moments that will last ..
A life time and more..
I then find faces that are not with me no more ...
I look and I stare..
And I wonder how they just vanished into thin air ..
But guess..
That's what happens in time ..
To relationships where the rope that keeps the boat afloat has been pulled too fine ..
And now...
There is just a picture that lives on my phone...
But in my heart ..
It sometimes is, just something that connected with my soul ...
So now as I lay down to sleep..
Among little fingers and tiny feet ..
I send a prayer up above ..
And know he will always keep safe all whom I love ..
Just like he mends broken hearts in time ..
And has always smiled at me , when all was not fine ..
He will always look after my smile ..
Even if it has walked away for , much more that a mile ..
To find the soul , whose photograph lives on my phone ..
And to say ..
It's OK , you don't have to be , to me,
Who you don't want to be ...
But I know, in this world , if something is meant to be , nothing really ends ..
We live in a circle ..
And will see each other passing by again ..
And I will smile at you again ..
And take life as it comes ..

Because that's what I learnt ..
You have to let go ..
Rather than hold ..
And if someone misses you and loves you ..
They will find a way back ..

As for me...
When I love ..
I give to much ..
I give all ..
I'm not able to hold back at all...
And I'm happy being me...Finally comfortable in my skin and short hair..
That I swish around like I have no cares...

It's now the end of the day ..
So good night ..
My sleepy heart now needs to rest ..
So that she can wake up in the morning and smile and tumble with the little hands ,little feet and the most precious smiles ..
Next to me in my bed ..

Stay happy...
Stay loved...
And know , we have just this time...
So live and love with abandon ..and always remember...
No matter who we are and where we live...
We do wake up to a beautiful new dawn...
