Up, Up and Away!

Up over Big Sky
Here we come, Pennsylvania!
I get to see Sis!

I pray that you have a good day, too.
See ya later!

See ya later!
Look Up!
Look up to find the blue
Looking back at you.
Hidden behind clouds,
It’s there for you to see.
Don’t focus on the gray.
Just brighten up your day
By knowing that the sun
Is there for you and me.
We may not see it now,
But we’re assured somehow
The gray will pass away.
The Son’s there constantly.
.
Look up!
God Bless You, dear friends…
See you tomorrow!
Swan Song has the connotation
Of the last performance here –
The last time you will finish something –
A time to bow out and cheer.
This swan on the water is singing
To the tune of something new –
A day to appreciate the river –
Swim freely and enjoy the view.
We may stay in the freezing river
And sing our song to the Montana sky,
Or we may head off to Switzerland
Sing to grape-covered Alps way up high.
We may go to the market in Spain,
See the display of candy – amazing!
Or sing our Swan Song to friends
Whose life-times are closing and changing.
Today I went to a Memorial Service
For five friends whose earth-life had ended.
Their lives were lived to the fullest,
But their last tune was poorly attended.
As I sang of the Old Rugged Cross,
And heard what a friend in Jesus we find,
I reflected on the Swan Songs of these
Who lived long lives, impactful, and kind.
They outlived their dearest earthly friends,
And they spent their last years in a bed
Where gentle caregivers loved them.
They’d have preferred to be home instead.
They’ve taken their stories and sweet songs
To their heavenly home – so don’t cry.
Just celebrate their lives lived in love,
And remember their Lights in the sky.

Each star that sparkles in the brilliant night
Is a reminder of one of these friends.
They lived lives of service; their stories don’t stop;
They’ll keep shining on us ’til eternity ends.
Whose lives are you remembering today?
Look up this evening… see their Lights blinking bright
as you remember their lives and legacy.
God bless them… and you … and have a good night!

My kayak and I
One with lake
One with sky
One with fishes
And polliwogs, too
I am even
One with you.
