Looking Up Into The Sky

by ilgrl   Sep 16, 2012


Looking up into the sky

Sometimes makes me want to cry

Because I know you are up there

Watching over me with such great care

I often think of how you are

Way up there so very far

I know you are at peace

I know that you can rest

I know you tried to stay wiht us

You fought real hard

You did your best

But it wasn't meant to be

God called you home instead

You rode up on an angel's wings

To that big place in the sky

God always calls us home

That is a certain fact

Heaven's where we'll meet again

God will make sure of that

    This is just dripping with emotion. My grandma took her life in 2001 so, though my scars have healed, I know it's a tremendous loss. I really like your use of repetition in "I know you are at peace... I know you did your best." It flowed well. I would recommend omitting the "to try and fight" as it's redundant of the past two lines. "There" not "their" in lines 3 and 6. And maybe consider revising the last five or six lines to improve flow or return to your original rhyming patter, it seems choppy as is. I'm nitpicking, sure, but only because I really like this one. Great read.
