Great Great Grandfather

You come and stand before my stone
And seek a sign you're not alone,
That I haven't left your side and flown
into the endless sky.

But when the sun shines warm and bright,
And embraces all with burning light,
And the moon rests lonely, out of sight
Do you doubt that night exists?

Or when you're walking in a country scene
A patchwork quilt of varied green,
Of hedge and field, so calm, serene
Do you doubt the sea roars loud?

And when you see the flowers dance
A gentle waltz in summer trance
Though you cannot see what makes them prance
Do you doubt the wind blows strong?

So why is it, you doubt I'm near
And long for signs to ease your fear
That I have flown this mortal sphere
And won't return to you?

It's true that though I'm out of sight,
I'm with you every day and night,
Your thoughts hold onto me so tight
I'm anchored to your soul.

And when you laugh, I fly up high
A kite that soars into the sky
But when you lie in bed and cry
It's me that wipes your tears.

The signs you seek, you do not need
I am in you; I'll never leave,
Your life goes on, you mustn't grieve
Because this angel's flying high.
