Free

Take your wings
It's time to fly
No longer bound by earthly chains
You're free to soar within the light
That knows your heart
That calls your name
And reaches out to cradle you 
While guiding you along the way

To welcoming familiar faces
And voices time took long ago
Now calling out to comfort you
Reaching out to take you home
Where memories of yesterday
Are forever yours to hold
Within a heart that's whole again
A mended peaceful soul

So, with whispered words
And selfish tears
From love I set you free
To journey beyond age and pain
A place that's yours to keep
Among the souls that comfort you
And there you'll wait for me
