In Spirit

© Julie Ruffell

You fought at my side
You and me
We faced the world
Now we are parted
Meetings few and far between
But you must know
Even if I'm not
I'm there
Standing next to you
And if you need me
I'm here
Carry this poem with you
And carry a piece of me
Should your day be dark
This will be my hug
Should you need to cry
This will be my shoulder
Should you need help
This will be my hand
I'm always right there at your side
In spirit and in heart
