As I stared up at the clouds in the skies

They started to fracture in front of my eyes.

The blue filled with cracks, the white scattered down

In spite of it all, a smile took my frown.

Your beautiful face soon came into view

I knew that you wanted to take me with you.

You reached down your hand, you held tight my face

But couldn’t quite pull me into your embrace.

We knew then, my angel, I had to stay here

And trust you would always be holding me dear.

When it is my time, then it will do

To split the sky open and come home to you.

Until then dear angel, I still see your eyes

Each time I gaze up into those blue, blue skies.
