Play me the waltz of the angels

Some words.

 I wrote some names down to paper,

each name were kind mentors to me.

In quiet prayers,

I pray to sit with them again,

talk till we can't no-more.

I know in heaven,

kind people are waiting for their soldier boy.

Today, old age had found me,

feet tire, back hurt and

the grandchildren in the yard playing.

I go outside and we dance in the Fall leaves.

I look to the blue sky,

I pray to the warm sun,

I hope, I am making you proud.

I miss you and one day soon,

at the great dance in paradise.

I will waltz with the angels again.

I totally get this poem! In the last five years, more beloved people I know died than during the rest of my entire life! I must have hit "that age" . . . and instead of feeling sad, I feel okay, becuz sixty-some-odd or seventy-such years is a decent dance on this planet . . . it's a time to celebrate all the angels that can walk with me the rest of my way! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Thank you dear Margie. Same with me. I am the elder in my family now. I am trying to slow down and spend time with the family.

The waltz of a soldier goes with different drumbeats and instruments. But you are a lover too and it shows from all your writes. You bring love and pleasure that is immeasurable . Your family and nation should be proud. I like the honesty about old age too. Wow.

Very nice. It's a soothing balm to the spirit to trust that we shall never be completely separated from those we love. I enjoyed your offering in verse. Bless.
