Fly

I can imagine my late wife and soulmate Anne saying this. I was sitting in heaven today wondering what to do. When a thought crossed my mind maybe I could visit you. So I asked God for permission to visit a special place on earth. I told God there was someone I love who was alone and feeling hurt. God asked me how I knew him and he knows angels never lie. I said it's someone who I love but never got to say goodbye. I can see he's lost his way and looking sad and all alone. So I'd like to pay a visit to the place that was our home. It will only take a moment for I know I cannot stay. But I'm sure he'll understand knowing heaven called me away. Then God just looked and smiled then wiped a tear from my eye. Saying my angel when you see his lonely just spread your wings and fly.

I'd rather be your happy ever after, rather than your once upon a time.

Congratulatuins Johm, sorry, I am late in my good wishes. One of the things I like about your mouth is that you’re not self promoting and you are not arrogant. There are many like you here and then… There are the others, Pangie xx

John this is so touching my friend. Such a heartfelt piece you wrote for Christmas and your beloved wife took part in it. I love your theme and the heartfelt words you use to give us this gift for Christmas. When all the Accolades have been given and the still of the night approaches look to the evening sky and feel her love shining in the heavens making their way to your heart. Congratulations my friend if this is not a sign from God receiving POTD I don't know what is. Congratulations...
