Viewing you in that position <br />Made me feel the pain your in <br />So I prayed to the holy one <br />To end the misery your feeling <br /> <br />Then I saw the memories we shared <br />It was full of smiles so precious <br />No pain, no problems were traced <br />Only the strong bond of our loving family <br /> <br />This made me see clearly <br />Were strong enough to get through this <br />This slope that shaked our path <br />Is something that we need to get through <br /> <br />So confident I am with what I saw <br />Not knowing that reality was changed <br />By a call full of grief and sorrow <br />Saying that your soul was set free <br /> <br />Eyes were awaken by the news so sudden <br />Rain fell from the pained river <br />Loud speechless voices echoed in my ears <br />But I need to move and let the others know <br /> <br />My prayer was granted by him <br />But not the way I'm expecting it to be <br />All your miseries vanished <br />While the gap of the river opened wider <br /> <br />The words used in the songs I loved <br />Understood today by my tearful heart <br />Slow melody, so solemn <br />Felt like it's meant for me to love it <br /> <br />Now, i don't know what will be next <br />Expecting is something that is impossible <br />For our tomorrow will never be the same <br />Coz' It'll be a life that is longing for you <br /> <br />Even though it is hard to do <br />The bird should be set free <br />To fly as high as it could <br />With full confidence and without hesitation <br /> <br />We love you and we will miss you <br />And now we are setting you free <br />You are free to fly free to go <br />But please, guide us constantly <br /> <br />....A poem for my grandma....<br /><br />Lorena Lalen Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-bird-set-free/
