Just Reach

just reach your hand out to the sky
pull your loved ones back to your side

lets get to say one more goodbye
for we never wanted them to go away and die

as now the days and nights lay 
in such sweet disguise

so let us once again our lord
stare into their illumating eyes

as we reach out for them 
in your broad horizon sky

and get to hold and kiss them
even if their not by our sides

for if this is however feels when we die
then I'd like to be that angel in that sky

so I can just reach out right back
and wipe their tears too from their eyes



Tribute To Our Loved Ones
On The Other Side
May You All RIP

This is so emotional, and beautifully written, it hurts and makes me smile at the same time. Love, Shar

The first two lines just sucked me and wouldn't let go....I wish I could reach in and pluck a few out just so that I can have their laughter once more..beautiful write.
