A LICENCE TO FLY

 
Heaven has welcomed another angel this year
Each frozen raindrop represents a tear
How we miss her, the pain we feel
Is it a nightmare, or is it real?
I imagine her, flying with her new wings
Following closely, the choir sings
In the distance, the old church bell rings
I think of her, perched up high
Watching down on us, from the starry sky
Floating by, on a fluffy cloud
Picking those out she loves, from a crowd
Making sure they are okay
Shaking her head at us for wanting her to stay
She knows we feel so much pain
If only she could tell us, one day we will meet again
But she was needed elsewhere
This makes us angry, as we miss her so
We ask the Lord, why she had to go
Inside her soul she did care
But her job on earth was done
She had more to give more to share
How fortunate are those souls who she now helps?
Walls of ice she will melt
Barriers she will break down
Picking up people who have found a frown
Making them feel like they belong
She is the gift giver who carries on
I just miss her very much
Each day I cry
But then I think of my angel, in the sky
Flying with her new wings
Feeding the birds, she loved as they sing
Crashing into the silver stars
Reaching up to the sun so far
A big smile, upon her face
As she learns to fly, in her new place
 
 
To my Dearest Vivi each day I ache for you.
