The promise of an afternoon
A carefree day in sun soaked June
This was an ordinary day
Where tall grass grows and branches sway
Where water ripples all around
The scent of earth, the untouched ground
The blue sky sparkles endlessly
My time with you was not to be
The tide rushed in so dark and swift
I failed to give you one last kiss
The Angels hovered ever near
To comfort me and dry my tears
They wrapped their wings around you both
Then pulled you in and held you close
They lifted you into the sky
Where you grew wings and learned to fly
Beyond the city, high above
Where days are filled with peace and love
My heart shall ache forevermore
As I blow you kisses from the shore
