How beautiful
that you lived this life
no matter how short,
no matter how long,
so intentional
and even when it wasn’t,
you were still able to walk into
every room, grab the light,
pull it close and hold it
along with the attention of
every heart in the room.
And all the eyes would search
your light, eager to dance
in your glow, ready to be close
to that smile. And I swear,
your smile alone is what made
the sun set and rise.
How beautiful
that you would make an exit
as breathtaking
as your entrance,
showing the end of your song,
but the beginning of your flight
and we all watch
your journey home.
Some say this is the end,
but most of us know
this is only the beginning
of a new journey.
Fly out. Fly in. Fly away.
Your spirit will stay
Your spirit will go
And now the sky has a new angel
watching over us.
Until we meet again, friend.
Now go show the sky how to dance.
