From a girl There was a brief moment in time - When a rare friendship touched my soul I think I must have blinked - And felt my heart touched by another A smile always crossed my lips - When he would speak And I knew that I had known someone special. So briefly did I know him That he now seems as ethereal as his own rainbow Just as far reaching - just as beautiful. Soaring high above the world Unencumbered by earthly burdens - pain free A Hawke looks down upon those he loves Spreading his wings to still protect his girl As he guides her through life Proud of her strength - The strength he gave her and taught her to use. How he loved her - still loves her - and will always love her. He touched people's lives in ways only imagined He brought smiles and made people laugh He did G-d's work without even trying Till G-d decided to take him for His own How to say goodbye? I'm unable to. Just a blown kiss heavenward - from a swan to a Hawke - as he soars. swan{Ursa}
