The Salute of An Adored

Lifeless was where he lay For he was in a state filled with dismay His hands were stretched so straight Lying there with no motion or effort to budge While his legs where open Forming a flipped V-shape His head was buried in the sand Close to the mother he was once with Embracing it so hard that it couldn't stand But to cry and embrace him too Taking him into her arms and never letting go For she can never stand to let him go again His eyes were shut so peacefully His smile glued to his face As he shaped something so mighty and powerful with his body A snow angel so pure Cleared from any sin That man died leaving a lovely image Indicating how a person's life is so valuable Even if bad times come along leaving a trace Yet enjoyment and happiness wipe them away And as he left his beloved and his adored, A salute was gifted to everyone By the smile upheld on his face Leaving an image of peace and happiness Evacuating the sadness his loved and adored would feel By simply seeing him lying there so peacefully filled with joy People are nothing but dust, yet the traces they leave are treasures never lost...
