Never Alone

I feel you looking down upon me
So calm, gentle like the summer sea.
I gaze thoughtfully at the late evening sky,
At peace, lifting up as if I can fly.
Closing my eyes, you are in my mind,
The love you have is of a different kind.
I hold my breath and count slowly to ten,
When I open my eyes you’re gone again.
So fragile, so I softly whisper your name,
So strong, you are my souls inner flame.
The spread of your wings are so grand,
A touch from you and love covers the land.
You guided and protected me from the very start,
You are truth, you tell me to open my heart. 
You embrace my worry, it’s part of life’s plan,
My Angel, my guide but most of all, my Gran.

What a nice tribute. Another nice piece of writing. I tried to fly a few times as a kid, and dreamed I did as a young adult with my brother who had passed away at 23. I dreamt it when I was 23 and my mother had passed. My Gram helped raise me and is in my prayers every night. Ellen
