The Day Has Taken You

*Dedicated to my friend Rick who passed away yesterday...12/11/22* The day has taken you, but heaven opens the gate No more suffering, nothing more to contemplate Now, you are flying with angels in the sky Just being in your faith with all the reasons why! The day has taken you, but you are finally free No more illness plaguing you, nothing worse to see Free from the pain or even the evil across this land, You’re singing with the angels my friend, I can hear the band! My tears of reason do fall… But for you, I will stand tall… Because I know you’re in a much deserving better place And you’ve found a way to be with me, even though I can’t see your face! Your words are in my mind… Your ways are in my heart to find… Right here and right now, to replenish moments that are sullen, Until I find you at the end of my path, left worn by teardrops fallen... Heidi Sands 12/12/22
