Play me the waltz of the angels

Some words.

 I wrote some names down to paper,

each name were kind mentors to me.

In quiet prayers,

I pray to sit with them again,

talk till we can't no-more.

I know in heaven,

kind people are waiting for their soldier boy.

Today, old age had found me,

feet tire, back hurt and

the grandchildren in the yard playing.

I go outside and we dance in the Fall leaves.

I look to the blue sky,

I pray to the warm sun,

I hope, I am making you proud.

I miss you and one day soon,

at the great dance in paradise.

I will waltz with the angels again.

I totally get this poem! In the last five years, more beloved people I know died than during the rest of my entire life! I must have hit "that age" . . . and instead of feeling sad, I feel okay, becuz sixty-some-odd or seventy-such years is a decent dance on this planet . . . it's a time to celebrate all the angels that can walk with me the rest of my way! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you dear Margie. Same with me. I am the elder in my family now. I am trying to slow down and spend time with the family.

dearest John... waltzing with Angels has the sweetest sound... in our heart we remember forever and once again we will dance around the River of Life where Angels gather. truly a poem that plays a heavenly golden harp.

Who knows what the end will hold, but the idea of waltzing with the angels is a magnificent vision to balance on. I too long to slap a few backs and receive many hugs whenever it's my time. It will be beauty and understanding beyond imagination. Wonderful poem, Coyote. Hope you have a great holiday season.

Beautiful words. Many I have loved have passed on. That's what happens as we grow older, knowing one day it will be our turn. We need to slow down and make every moment count while we are here Coyote. We are a long time dead. As always you write beautiful poetry. I wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving my friend.

i don't think angels would waltz. it's not a big deal but I can't see it.

i bet an angel would just float there and make you do all the footwork.

but they would harlem shake so the dance idea might still pan out.

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you Amy. I believe if we make heaven. We can dance upon the clouds.

[Weeping willow]

Coyote, at 51, I can identify with this poem. I’ve lost so many friends and family the past 10 years, and some tragically. If only...

And, the video is so special. I watched that show and became a fan. She was such a wonderful woman, and an angelic voice. Thanks for sharing this poem and the memories.

I try to keep Joey alive. Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. I agree, hard to watch our family and friends leaving us.
