Flying….
with angels… the sky was a perfect blue with clouds floating like whispers on the wind…. and we drove to be with them on their special day. He used to say that he wanted to be just like us when he grew up, and each time I would reassure him that there is the perfect someone for everyone, it just takes an open heart and patience.
And myDarlin’ arrived in my life quite unexpectedly, or at least from my perspective as our Lord had perfectly orchestrated every moment of our lives until that point, and continues even today and all or the days yet to be. From the beginning, we took many road trips, giving us time to continue our life’s dialogue that started with a four hour phone conversation the first time we ‘met’. Conversation, the dance of language shared between two people, is enriched with elements of laughter, tears, emotion and a splash of silence thrown in for good measure.
myDarlin’ had an infatuation with all things flying, birds, kites and airplanes and expressed his excitement in a childlike manner whenever he encountered them. As I look back over the photos from the day, many of which were taken by him I hear this song come over the radio and I know that he has added angels to his collection of favorite flying beings and things.
Where are you going, inside your mind
I guess were always living on borrowed time
Yes I will be here, to hold your hand
just close your eyes and sleep, I understand
I guess were always living on borrowed time
Yes I will be here, to hold your hand
just close your eyes and sleep, I understand
You'll fly with angels above us all and I'll be here
to catch you if you fall
If others leave you, you know I'll stay
My dreams will whisper to you and guide your way
so sleep my darling - one kiss goodnight
another song awaits you with rising eyes
to catch you if you fall
If others leave you, you know I'll stay
My dreams will whisper to you and guide your way
so sleep my darling - one kiss goodnight
another song awaits you with rising eyes
Tonight I am grateful for our Lords promise that we can fall asleep in his loving arms, and whether we wake here or in heaven – angels will sing of his promise of everlasting life. And I know that from the blue sky of that special day with friends, to the night sky filled with twinkling stars, from calm waters to turbulent waves, from a gentle breeze to the still night – that myDarlin’ Robert Kenui Pope is flying with angels telling me, ‘you should see the view from up here!’
