Flying

A poem written when my grandfather passed away

I think of how you must be flying
being reborn, not dying.
Strong and vibrant once more,
no longer weak, nor tired and sore.
You've made peace with this place,
with dignity and so much grace.
God heard your pleas as you dropped to your knees,
and he felt your pain as you begged, "Oh Lord please!"
All is well now and the pain will subside,
our hearts will heal and our eyes will dry.
Forever a part of each of us
You will never be gone
In our hearts and our minds
You will always live on.
Flying;
Being reborn
Not Dying.

A positive way to look at the death of your Grandfather. I like the kind emotion and your desire in the poem. I hope the same for my elders who were kind to me. Thank you for the hopeful and beautiful poem. I hope your Grandfather have found a good place to land.
