Angels and Lyres

Angels and Lyres
 A parents bliss seems to go with a kiss
child time like nursery rhymes rolls away in your mind
next thing you know a teen grown
tests your teachings 
an experience in reaching for their own space 
belief and faith 
without reason comes a season 
an adult blossoms beautiful and sound 
feet on the ground carving life from stone 
a world of his own brave and true
This man of you

 Now there's a hole where life was before
the edges will grow smooth but the hole will never close

 God might think our tears are ever rejoicing 
when sorrow for the loss is our biggest cost
we tell ourselves a better place awaits
and we believe it true those golden gates
but the power of never we grieve forever

  For God in Heaven must have needed one to make seven
most are sinners one or two maybe saints 
then there are Warriors like the one you gave 
mighty Angels great wings of gold  
fighting evil  so the legend goes
