Ken Carroll Poet Free verse

See You In Heaven

It has been almost three years
since to heaven you did fly
We miss the beauty of your soul
now you share it with the sky...

Heaven now knows the warmth of your heart
So bright you put the stars to shame
the glow of Springtime's sun
will never be the same...

Our son has the strength of your soul
the passion of your heart with much to share
in his eyes your majesty of the cosmos
like you a love of animals with much to spare...

My love add your wonder to the stars
enhance the blue of the midday sky
we miss the unequaled shining light
and the tenderness in your eyes...

Soar all the way to heaven my lady
for eternal love has set you free
I await here among the living
for you to greet me in heaven splendidly..
~ ~

Barbara Gorelick April 20, 2014 at 2:23 PM You managed to write about such a loss with great finesse. I really like it very much. One small suggestion..perhaps lose the "so" in the last line, for some reason it doesn't flow as well as it might. I think you have talent my friend! BG Ken Carroll April 20, 2014 at 2:32 PM Thank you Barbara for the visit and constructive suggestion..
