Flying Free
Flying Free
by Shirley Rebstock 4/21/2015
On the day a loved one dies
Your body trembles and your whole soul cries
Look towards heaven and you will see
A graceful bird flying free
Above the clouds and sky so blue
Nothing on earth left to do
Higher and higher above the rain
No more hurting, no more pain
Gliding on the currents of the wind above
Carrying in the heart friends and families love
Beautiful earth below, beautiful sea
A life, a memory so precious that will forever be
Flying to heaven the Lord to meet
With those loved gone before to greet
As the days go by and your heart breaks and bleeds
Remember your loved ones laughter to heal that need
Look toward heaven and you will see
A graceful bird flying free
