Soaring With The Angles

I dedicate this poem to my Grandmother who is 87. She is blind and has not been able to walk on her own, now living and being cared for in a nursing home. She has been waiting to be with her husband (my Grandfather) who we lost in 1995 to cancer for some

Soaring With The Angels : By John Walker 2008

 

 

A heart half empty, only once filled

A life only lived, that once had meaning

Once fulfilled, now all gone after being tilled

A field that now lays bare, longing for a new beginning

 

Waiting for their light to shine once again

While surviving with life's only necessities

To soar with winged angles, now that has began  

Their souls now fulfilled, without life's complexities 

 

They will shine above us, knowing all with a look

A smile from heaven, now a soul ever lasting

Their wait is now over, for now they have been took

While those left behind, remember all in pasting.

 

We are now left with a sorrow for their passing

Understanding the gift that has now been given without cost

We wish their passing love and peace, in our massing

A rebirth for one, to finally join the ones they had once only lost.

"A rebirth for one, to finally join the ones they had once only lost" my grandfather passed away when I was 3. My Grandmother never had another man. She missed him no less with the passing of time. She died a few years ago, and when she passed she sighed, smiled and whispered "John!" (his name of course) we all think he came to greet here and take her to heaven's gate. What else could it have been? This was lovely in it's sentimental dedication to your Grandmother.

I am glad you felt like family Tao2004. I feel true art should bring about emotion and bring one in.
Thank you, to all that made comments

very sympathetic and honorable write. I found myself at times almost as if I were family and could relate to the sorrow of the words chosen. you have done her proud I believe and the synergy of it lifts it that much higher to proclaim it unto angels. :)


great job!
