Now My Wings Can Soar In the Sky

My darling you look tired and frail-
as your life left, I had to wail.
   I long to meet again- sweet guy;
Now my wings can soar in the sky.

Without you my life is so bleak,
 being with you is what I seek;
     oh how I miss your touch-  I die.
 Now my wings can soar in the sky.

My darling you left me so soon?
we had planned our next honeymoon;
    my simple wish- I wouldn't say bye
Now my wings can soar in the sky.

 As I lay to eternal sleep …….
my hurt heart shall no longer weep 
     my loving man- you were so spry
Now my wings can soar in the sky.

The urge to want to be with the one you love is strong when they move forward into the next life, but they never really leave us, they are always close by, particularly when you need them most Alexis. And I do believe, reading your first poem, they visit us in our dreams. Your dreamer will visit you at some point, if not already. I am so sorry for your loss. Much love, Leanne x
