dear julia,

you have slipped the soured bonds of earth
and will dance in the skies smiling.
upwards you'll climb to heaven's girth
through sun-split clouds and cosmic bling.

you'll do many things not dreamed of:
soaring high in the sunlit sky,
racing the wind to the moon above,
rising up where no eagles fly.

escalating with ease and grace,
all this wandering won't seem odd
while passing through this divine space.
reach out! and touch the face of God!

i'll be looking up at the stars for you with
     a heart full of love.
you are now at peace, forever, safely home
     in heaven above.
let the wind lift your spirit and take you away
     to the arms of the Savior to hold you this day.
rest in peace.

gramom janet
