WHISPERS IN THE WIND

WRITTEN BY VICKIE BELMORE

I KNOW YOUR HEART FEELS EMPTY.

IN THIS MOMENT YOU FEEL

LIKE YOU'LL NEVER SEE YOUR MOM AGAIN.

TODAY... I THINK I HEARD HER

WHISPER IN THE WIND.

SHE SAID,

IF YOU LONG TO SEE HER

HERE IN THIS PLACE...

YOU CAN SEE HER EVERY DAY

IN EACH GRANDCHILDS FACE.

YOU CAN FEEL HER GENTLE HUG

IN EACH ONE'S EMBRACE.

THEY CARRY WITHIN THEM

GENETIC DROPLETS OF HER BLOOD.

THEY HAVE ALSO INHERITED

A LIFETIME OF HER LOVE.

WHEN YOU ARE OVERWHELMED WITH SADNESS,

AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS CRY...

YOUR MOM IS THERE IN SPIRIT

STANDING RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE.

SHE'S LONGING TO WIPE

THE TEARS FROM YOUR EYES.

SHE SAID,

LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY

FOR HER WHISPER IN THE WIND.

SHE WISHES SHE COULD SEE YOU

JUST SMILE AGAIN.

REJOICE IN THE JOY

THAT HER MEMORY BRINGS.

REMEMBER THAT THIS LIFE

IS A TEMPORARY THING.

SHE WILL SEE YOU IN HEAVEN

WHEN YOUR LIFE IS DONE.

SHE IS SO VERY PROUD

OF THE WOMAN YOU'VE BECOME.

SHE HAS PERSONALLY THANKED GOD

THAT YOU ARE HER CHILD.

NOW SHE ONLY ASKS...

THAT YOU LOOK UP TOWARD HEAVEN

AND SEND HER A SMILE.

SHE SAID,

STAY STRONG IN YOUR FAITH.

BELIEVE THAT SOMEDAY

YOU WILL SEE HER AGAIN.

AND...LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY

FOR WHISPERS IN THE WIND.
