He Joined The Angels Finally earth's gravity was broken and his spirit was free He could leave the broken, battered, bruised vessel to soar With the angels and enter at Heaven's gate to live with Thee And on this earth where pain lived he did close the door The sparkle once again in his eyes, the smile reaching the sky He can sing, play the Heavenly instruments in Your orchestra Live in the sun rise and sun set, no longer just watch 'cuz he can fly Of course he will visit those most dear but he will return to Allah His mate of many years watched over his earthly body faithfully Every day to hold his hands, touch the shell where he had been She knew this day would come, the time when he would be free How she prayed him healed, to keep him with her forever, but death did win No more walks in the sunshine to see natures gifts will they share The smiles and laughter are now precious memories to hold close She was his helpmate and became his care giver, her cross to bear But it was time for him to go, time for her to heal, time to give what she loved most Robert was a good 'ol Southern boy, Texan to the very core He loved his family, his friends, the great outdoors Always a smile, a hug, as a friend you couldn't ask for more He is now in Heaven and with the angels does soar |

What a lovely tribute to a loved one. I can feel the love come through this. Tracey If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Tracey, he was such a special loving person. The last several years in a nursing home. But now he is at peace |

ME, what a beautiful and moving write. May his spirit soar and may he rest in the arms of angels. *s* On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free. |
