Description
I wrote this poem to my brother, John when he died at the young age of 42. He was always a "free Spirit" & his favorite. song was "Free Bird." by
Lynyrd Skynyrd. If you read the lyrics to that song they describe John.
Free Spirit
I know my spirit has been set free.
It soars like a dove in flight.
There are no bonds that hold my heart,
I’m guided by my Master’s light.
Angels are my companions as I fly,
A free spirit through the night.
I behold all the essence of freedom,
Heaven’s gate is now in my sight.
I can no longer feel my many pains,
But a great joy down in my soul.
I know the love of my Lord,
My feeble body has been made whole.
I look down as my spirit soars,
While a brief sadness my heart feels.
Then looking back toward heaven,
Freedom from worldly strife is revealed.
I have not left the ones I love,
I’m waiting for the day we again meet.
Oh yes! On that wondrous day,
The greatest freedom we all shall greet.

One by one we lose the ones we love this last few years have been hard most of my family have went for that long sleep from which we as humans can not hide One day while in the grave site I meet a man cutting the grass over a few graves he said he knew now what being alone was like.. he said some words that touched my heart He told me that one by one he has lost every one he has loved within such a short time he was the last of his family there will be no one left to cut the grass ... well he joined his family a few weeks later Love the render
I know how that person felt because in the last few years, I have watched my husband [five years ago] and so many of my family & friends leave me here to what seems more & more like I am alone in this world. I will be 80 in July & most of those who are gone were younger, some much younger, than that. Thank you for your comment.
When death comes we have to go.. at times I wonder what will happen Most of my family went to sleep early in life but my Father was just a few weeks from 98 I told him the Monday night when my daughter and I left his room that it was OK for him to join my Mother as we walked away my daughter ask what I had said and what did it mean. I told her that we just have to wait for the phone call she cried all the way home
