Michael Salazar Poet Free verse

Keeper of the Crown

You walked on this earth
with a cross upon your shoulder.
You waltzed into Heaven
with a harp in your hands
you left us with a message
that will help us to grow older~
and a trail that we can follow
by your footprints in the sand.
As a gift you left your smile
that would soften our hearts,
and the memories of a childhood
we shall treasure with each day.
You lived a happy lifetime
but now as you depart
that broken peace 
of us that hurts
still yearns for you to stay.
The world is a lonely hunter
since your feather flew away
dancing like "Bojangles"
on a cotton colored cloud~
searching for a rainbow
that will brighten rainy days,
while singing all your love songs
to the Keeper of the crown.

Eve Roper January 7, 2015 at 1:40 PM Beautiful sentimental write, Michael, may your dad be happy in Heaven and a guardian angel you shall have. 7 Eve Roper January 7, 2015 at 2:25 PM So sorry for your loss, your father will always be beside from now on. I lost my dad a few years ago, and before he passed, I was making arrangements to sell our home in Or. so I could be near him to help with his care, he passed before my home sold, but in the mean time I had bought a home in Texas next to my brother. Michael Salazar January 7, 2015 at 1:50 PM Actually for my Dad who passed away a few weeks ago. I wrote this for him and for my Lord in Heaven. Both have brought me great inspiration.
