ASCENSION by Colleen Hitchcock


ASCENSION

And if I go,
while you're still here...
Know that I live on,
vibrating to a different measure
--behind a thin veil you cannot see through.
You will not see me,
so you must have faith.
I wait for the time when we can soar together again,
--both aware of each other.
Until then, live your life to its fullest.
And when you need me,
Just whisper my name in your heart,
...I will be there.

    1. Thanks Colleen! Are you ok with me updating what I have or would you like me to remove it all together? Thanks for reaching out! I have found so many things that have Emily tied to this - that must be very frustrating for you. :(

    2. Adrienne, it's okay to leave it up. Yes, it is flattering--but frustrating.
