Return If Possible RIP

I read that RIP could also mean Return if Possible, I am such a fan of the impossible. I can imagine the night you took flight, Soaring up to the sky so bright. Fleeing from the pressure and pain, Finally free, and you finally feel sane. Up to the arms of those who left us, Surrounding you and making a fuss. You glanced back and shuddered, As your eyes fell on your crying mother. Your dad crying by her side, They both feel as if they also died. In one big sweep, You took the leap. “I must return,” you said, “and I’m taking that card, Going back even though life is hard. Returning to the two That loved me and took care of me as I grew— My mother and father, I love you both like no other.” “Wait for me until eternity, I will be back at the first opportunity. Please hold on to each other, As you must be there for my sister and brother. They are hurting and missing me too; We will meet again, that much is true. Stick together like glue; Your baby girl Will be soaring with the birds in swirl.”
