THIS IS A JFTLOI

THE LAST GOODBYE.
Up there
On the mountain high
You can relish more..
The beauty of the sky.
And down below
you visualise the flow,
Of humanity that goes by.
Here in this absolute silence
broken only , by the fluttering
of the roaming eagles...
Gliding gracefully,
over the peaks
of the rugged rocks...
Showing that they are mighty
and not weak.
The kings of birds, and of the sky
hovering and seeking as they go by.
soaring high, together, sharing and caring
Up there so high!
Down in the valley, I can nearly feel
the warm winds, caressing the pines
which grow at the sides of the mountain
Making the landscape, look so fine.
Watching all this, makes me feel bad
It reminds me of the love I once had
And of that someone, who made me cry
As he whispered his last good bye
Thus the reason for being sad.
Yet all this grandeur, reminds me
that there is someone who cares from above
Someone always ready, to give me his love
The steadfast love of the Lord.
