Requiem for Little Guy
Love’s embrace
Held thee
A short while — almost weightless.
Fly away
Little Soul
On butterfly wings.
Frail veil
Of human life
Slipped through love’s fingers — voiceless.
Fly high
Little Guy
On angel’s wings — all breathless.
Salt tears
Of mortal mourning
Stain earth’s garden — speechless sorrow.
Fly free
Little Grandsoul
On wings of your tomorrow — boundless eternity
Fly Free

in their time of loss, August 2010
With countless hugs, Yaya
