From the Sky

This is a poem i came up with for a dear friend who is no longer with us.

I feel the tears trailing down
As I sit alone beneath the sky
I can't help but wonder why?
Why did He chose to let you fly?

Can you see from the stars
Holding you close with their warm light?
Are you looking down now
Watching all you left behind?

Can you hear my words
Whispered through the air?
Can you feel my heart
Beating steady through this pain?

This all I think so often
I will until that blessed time
When we will meet again
Until then, hold my hand?

Through the dark and the light
The grief and the laughter
Through the high and the low
Promise, never let me go?



Dedicated in loving memory of James Maher. Gone from us but never forgotten. Rest on peace.
