Listen to poem:

In Heavens Fold

In Heavens Fold
David J Walker

The last voice he heard
Or hand upon him felt
The last brush of fingers
Through his hair in
Loving grooming dealt

The last smile his eyes
Before the night would see
Before the calling 
To  the light of eternity 

The loving grasp to steady
His last step
From daughter to 
His mother’s side now swept
in loving arms the father/son
Now kept 
In heavens fold
