[bodytext] => I cannot bring myself to believe,
Though the sky is shouting out your name,
It carries out upon the wind,
And is heard in every drop of rain.
The air, it tells me not to grieve,
But grief is burning heated pain,
It smoulders but it never dies,
The cooling breeze just fans the flames.
The bird song had a hollow ring,
As if missing nature's voice somehow,
The trees are muted, quiet leaves,
They move without a single sound.
The world stands silent vigil now,
Over a soul due to depart,
The grass would wave goodbye at last,
While the sun salutes a caring heart.
The moon prepares to greet you now,
While clouds blanket saddened skies,
Orb glows red, I feel it burn
Marking innocence demise.
The world will weep, the same as I,
As you leave for heaven's gate,
On stairs of clouds, in fields of stars,
Those which only love creates.
But stars will shine once again,
And sun will warm the breeze,
The grass will move as if alive,
To music from the trees.
But everytime I'll see the moon,
I'll see your face alight.
And I'll remember you the way you were,
Before your soul took flight.

This is so sad and beautiful at the same time. It is so hard to let them go. The pain will reside a while then you will feel him touch you and you will know he is with you always. Beautiful, Philly.

Oh Phil! This is so sad and eloquently put! Your emotion is evident and I love the flow and raw feelings of pain you have expressed.
Another beautiful poem from a beautiful girl! Brought a tear to my eye! Love the metaphors!

Your Grandad is a wonderful human being. I can see you really miss him in this beautiful poem.
I say is a wonderful human being because once born we never die.
In your prayers talk to him each living day in heaven he hears.
I sence you see and feel him in nature and that is good.
Remember he is seeing God face to face helping to prepare a place for you and yours.
Again beautiful poem.

A beautiful and sad tribute. I wish such things did not have to happen, but they do in this world (wouldn't it be wonderful if it were remade and healed?). I pray you and your family will have peace, and your grandfather will have Light and Life on the other side.

I doubt a finer tribute exists. I wish I had written as such for my grandfather. I miss him even now, and it has been more than 25 years.
