Flight Of Angels

[GirlHappy19]

There is quietness over the glen,
An early autumn settles slowly in
And like a leaf blown by the wind,
Life’s journey has reached it’s end.

I hear the mourning sounds
Of loved ones gathered around,
Around my bed they softly weep,
They’ve come to see my final sleep.

Do not grieve for me too long
For I am only going home
And we will meet again one day,
I’ll be waiting to show the way.

Where the leaves lie to ground
Dear ones will lay me down,
Behind the olden country church
Neath the leafless trees of birch.


http://anelvisfan2001.com/atest/floater.gif

They will cry my passing away,
They will bow their heads and pray
But we’ll all meet again I know
Where the Garden of Eden grows.

Though this dark hour is my last,
Though my life is dimming fast,
Of crossing over I have no fear
For God’s angel whispers I hear.

Their wings gently brush my brow,
A calming darkness enters now,
I smile knowing what joy is ahead
As they tenderly raise me from bed.

Carry me gently out of the night,
Oh heavenly angels take flight,
Bear me up on snow-white wings,
To The Holy Father my soul bring.

Thanks for that Girlhappy....a very lovely poem. Seems to me that there is a sadness to all beautiful things....Some of Elvis most beautiful songs are also among his saddest....I think Elvis understood this very well, just look at his face while he sings Hank Williams "I`m so lonesome I could cry". I hope he is at peace and surrounded by love.

Aww, that was so nice.......and sweet. Thank you so much for sharing Girlhappy, you did a wonderful job on that (y):hug:

Thank you for sharing that. Sure helps bring things into perspective on here don't you think? Our bickering back and forth - we forget the real reason we are here sometimes...to honor our Elvis. I hope he is blessed by god where he is and in peace. Do you think he thinks to himself now, "****************! I should have listened to them cause maybe I'd still be there son!" ;)

[Unchained Melody]

That was a very touching read. Many thanks to you for posting!:notworthy
