High Flight
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long delirious, burning blue
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untresspassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Love, so dearly reflected in the hearts of those surrounding, remains until all dust has cleared and nothing remians but light.

My life is richer, for the time I spent with this sweet man. My babies and I adore him and know that he loved us the same. I feel blessed for the borrowed time, we had, with him <3

Dear Michael,
You are also in my thoughts. Your grandfather was a wonderful man. I know he cherished you as much as you cherished you.
