Trying your Wings

Clouds of Angel Arms

On a beautiful September day you flew away 

from the water in a boat up to the sky... 

The Glory Hallelujah was heard for miles 

as Angels held you on arms of celestial smiles... 

Every flower that grows will be blessed with tears 

You will always be our lovely string of pearls... 

When snowflakes fall and bluebirds call 

we will remember spring summer winter and fall 

through all the years of loving a son who was 

destined to be a Keeper of Hearts... 

Dedicated to our dear friend Violet who lost her son...

Well firstly I am sorry for all of your loss, but with such beautiful words in his memory, he must have had a very special place in your lives and in your hearts.
Nothing quite encompasses the ache of such a loss, but im sure your words have and will bring comfort to those who knew and loved him.
Beautiful.

dear Lorry... your review is lovely on clouds of sadness. But to celebrate his flight is so
surreal on the wings of love. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

Considering the scope of such a loss is immeasurable to me. Bless you for writing this out of love for a friend! Much love,Pat!

dearest Kelly... it is difficult to imagine losing a son before his purpose has been fulfilled. However, his spirit will always be divine and part of eternity in ways that are a mystery to us... until some day, we also will embrace the light. We are not a mere candle, but a light that glows in the darkest hour... in the twinkling of an eye.
truly, Pat

...so true...so wonderful to believe!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Kelly... I love the word Believe. Even the ending of the movie, “Solar Express” had the word “Believe”... May your holidays be blessed with heavenly sounds. truly, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

...and your's as well, Pat! Thank you!

A sad poem. Lost of son. A heavy burden to have. Somethings are difficult to understand. Thank you Pat for sharing your words and thoughts.

dear John... thanks for reading “Trying your Wings”. When we leave this earth before our time... it gives others a chance to reflect and perhaps feel the spirit that we will always have ... even in eternity.
The light will guide our way as we pray. truly, Pat

dear E... your awesome review has touched my 💜. We met Violet when Roger my husband started taking dialysis three years ago here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Violet has been a caring and close friend to us. Her husband is a retired Marine. They had three sons, two of which are still Marines. The middle son is the son who passed recently. Violet still has many Tears as Mothers love 💕 is eternal. I have shared some of my poems with Violet. I told her I would write her a poem about Tears. I wanted the poem to be uplifting. Your comments E are simply divine with touches of a silver lining for each cloud. Bless you dear heart. truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

there is a Violet here at the Cafe' as well ... she lives in CA. and has gone through some rough times as well ... she kind of dropped off the pages though .. i thought you might be referring to her ...... sending up my prayers for that "Marine" family ...hugs to all :(

A tribute to my friend Violet who lost her Son.
He loved to fish on the Lake, but had a heart condition
and passed away while on a boat with friends.
