High Flight

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,

And danced the skies on laughter-slivered wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth

Of sun-split clouds, --and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of—Wheeled and soared and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there

I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung

My Eager craft through footless halls of air…

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the wind – swept heights with easy grace

Where never lark or even eagle flew –

And, while with silent lifting mind I’ve trod

The high untrespassed sanctity of space,

Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

The Day God Took You Home

A million times

I’ve needed you

A million times I’ve cried,

If love alone

Could have saved you

You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,

In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place,

No one else can ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,

But you didn’t go alone

Part of me went with you,

The day God took you home.
