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.

surreal on the wings of love. truly, Pat

So sorry for the loss, beautifully written and expressed.

Nice, I liked the religious poem even though I am not very reglious.

[Sami Khalil]

Such condolences are offered with sparkling hopes of the Spirit and in the company of angels. To wipe the tears of sadness is to lift up the burden of separation and behold the beauty of the next life. You move us with every tribute.

[Patricia Wedel]

Is always there in God’s Care... Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be comforted. Your review Sami is etched in silver when In the company of Angels. truly, Pat

To lose anybody we love is heartbreaking but for a parent to outlive their child.....doesn't bear thinking about.
Beautiful words Patricia, so, so sorry for your, their loss.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Gee... I wanted thi poem to be uplifting for Violet and her husband. But alas, her tears are forthcoming ... It is unimaginable to lose a child... even when they are grown. But tears will water all the flowers through the years. I believe our Spirit does live on... truly, Pat

[Ana Papaya]

[andrew mitchell]

Nice tribute Pat. The end of life is sad but the memories live on.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... you know the light that we see when daw breaks around the world 🌍 according to time zones... it surely must resemble the light at the end of the tunnel when we leave this earth... the Spirit of Shakespeare has gone before and we also will see the light and our Spirit lives on.
Bless you and enjoy the seasons. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

The light that we see when dawn breaks around the world... Amen

[emmajoy]

Such beautiful words, kindl y and sincerely laid, my dearling. You're su chh an empathic friend.

'On a beautiful September day you flew away ~ from the water in a boat up to the sky... '

You know: Water is the calm ist , most support ive of all routes to Heaven.. ..

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... to be empathic is quite an endearing term. Our life experiences that can be bittersweet does give us pause to feel the joy and sorrow that others feel.
Someone I only met once recently told me that I was a “People Whisperer”. I thought that was a precious thing to say. Thank you Em for introducing me to the meaning of Empathic. You are a scholar of true feelings and more. Loverly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... so glorious to know that the water is the most supportive of all routes to heaven. That could be associated with Baptism and being blessed with the Holy Spirit. Lovingly, Pat

[barleygirl]

This is a precious tribute for your grieving friend. I love this line: "The Glory Hallelujah was heard for miles" -- such an embrace of the inevitable! You have a way of weaving imagery based on nature, but it can symbolize a variety of human situations. Altho this was written on the occasion of death, I can also see this as a farewell to the child going off to do an independent journey of any kind. Your friend is lucky to have you gifting her with the perfect balance between sad & celebratory (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Margie... yes, death could be an embrace of the Spirit as we travel in time and space to embrace the light. I hope Violet feels the light as she reads the words and finds peace in knowing it is a journey into the light. Thank you for your touch of divine intervention and perspective. truly, Pat
