For Roy

Less than one minute read time.

I look at the sky - I see you there

I look at the moon and the stars - I feel you are near

I notice the sound of the river - I can hear your voice

I feel a sensation of warmth - I remember the laughter

I see a smile in someones eyes - I remember you

I feel a joyous sensation - I remember you cheekily teasing me 

Now you are no longer here

I notice the world all around me

As if for the very first time

For those who have battled cancer, and live long to tell the tale

And for those who are no longer with us, living now in heavens bright vale.
