***Recently, while going through the family home after losing my mother to Covid, I came across the writing of my great-grandmother, Minnie Louise Bumphrey, who was a published writer and poet. Over the next few days I will be sharing her works on my blog. I’ll Come Back is a piece she wrote for her children; my grandfather and his siblings.***
My children:
No, you will never lose me, so don’t grieve when I pass on.
For I’ll still be always near you though and flesh I may be gone.
When you’re listening to music or you are enjoying the TV, you may feel like someone is near you, and remember this, it’s me.
Yes I’ll always be around you no matter where you go.
In the mountains, in the ocean, and the desert, yes that is so.
I’ll be there no matter what.
I’ll be with you rain or shine on the dark days or the sunny days.
I’ll be with you all the time.
***Originally written by Minnie Louise Bumphrey of Kewanee, Illinois.***
