Grandfather's Promise
Written By: Barbara Williamson-Wood

My soul has touched the edge of heaven
A place where few souls
have ever been
The voices gently called
out my name
Beckoning me to join the
golden choir
Symphonies of the treasured
life abound
As my voice slowly lifted
in harmony
The eagles soared high above
the pines
Reminding me of
my place below
Challenging
tasks still left undone
His great breath blew strong
yet caring
Upon my cheek, I felt his
lasting kiss
Grandfather sent a child
back home
With a promise to sing once
more
And...
His drums he would beat
in prayer.
