I'm Far but Near

I’m gone, Mother Dear,

For you I’m far, but still very near

Yet, to others this is not clear

Since the dead don’t appear

Do tell them Mother, “don’t fear”

Perhaps they will react, or shed a tear

Tell at least those close and sincere,

You sense my presence and know I'm near

And that I send you comfort and cheer

Through a song or words you hear,

A dream or a gentle whisper in your ear

Or a warm hug, Mother, Dear.
