Angels and Lyres

Angels and Lyres A parents bliss seems to go with a kiss child time like nursery rhymes rolls away in your mind next thing you know a teen grown tests your teachings an experience in reaching for their own space belief and faith without reason comes a season an adult blossoms beautiful and sound feet on the ground carving life from stone a world of his own brave and true This man of you Now there's a hole where life was before the edges will grow smooth but the hole will never close God might think our tears are ever rejoicing when sorrow for the loss is our biggest cost we tell ourselves a better place awaits and we believe it true those golden gates but the power of never we grieve forever For God in Heaven must have needed one to make seven most are sinners one or two maybe saints then there are Warriors like the one you gave mighty Angels great wings of gold fighting evil so the legend goes
