People who appear on TV 
  Calling themselves "mediums", 
  Claim to communicate 
  With the spirits 
  Of our departed loved ones. 
  They say our dear ones 
  Are still with us, 
  All the time,
  Looking out for us, 
  Guiding and protecting us.
  Always with us? 
  I wish !
  How I would love to see and hear
  My darling Cliff,
  My mother and my father,
  My brother,
  My Zaidies and my Bubbies.
  But I never see them or hear   them,
  Though they are part of me,
  Deep in the heart of me,
  Day and night,
  Night and day.
  But tell me, you who see the spirits   -
  If they are with us all the time -
  Are they with me 
  When I am in the bathroom?
  I would find that very   uncomfortable.
  Years ago, after my darling husband   died,
  I was in the depths of hell,
  Grieving.
  There was a great gathering of "mediums"   
  At the hotel near the Montreal   Airport.
  I went to seek out a medium
  Who could communicate with my   beloved.
  I stopped at every booth,
  Asking, 
  "Do you know why I am here?"
  Not one so-called "medium" had a   clue.
  Not one.
