On Angels Wings

I looked to the sky

and there I found

a sparkle, a star

not meant to be earthbound.

A lifetime of sorrow,

a mountain of pain

has now become free

and felt in the soft summer rain.

Your youthful days

so full of life

the pain of later

cut like a knife.

A body once active and whole

now just a memory

an empty bowl.

You didnt stop trying

you never gave up

always ready to drink from the friendship cup.

I smile at the memory your friendship brings

and know you are watching

on angels wings.
