As your age rises my hope starts to lower

Praying your soul will forever remain 

Letting go of your tranquil gaze 

Drifting off to a greater place 


I weep as I see you for the final time 

The tears, remembering you 

Let your soul lie peacefully 

The pain feeling so real, yet true 


I sit in silences as my mind rewinds 

All of the memories rushing far and wide 

Your wrinkled skin and charming smile

Your image permanently in my thoughts 


My angel to now His 

Your wings expand so gracefully 

Kissing me once more 

I now watch you soar
