A Song for Richard

Richard’s soul took flight yesterday.

My brother, my friend, my hero is free.

 

May your soul be blessed, may your body rest

On the mountain where you were born

May your spirit soar, where there’s joy ever more

May you find your way in peace.

And there’s no more harm, in your savior’s arms

See you fly away in the sky

Did you hear the call of angels one and all

May you find your way peace

May you know you’re loved

May you shine above on the mountain where you were born

May your spirit soar

There’s no pain anymore

May you find your way in peace

And there’s no more harm, in your savior’s arms

See you fly away in the sky

Did you hear the call of angels one and all

May you find your way in peace.

  Picture: mid-December 2017,  3 Sister roadtrip to love him, hug him and say goodbye.  I miss him already but I feel his presence.  He’s with me.  Always.

    1. Thank you Shawna. Actually this is a song by Eastmountainsouth called Mark’s song. They only made one album around ’03 that I know of. Love their music. You can find them on youtube.

  1. My dear Elizabeth, my heart aches knowing how hard this must be for you. But I also know that you have a peace knowing where he is now. Rejoicing with the angels in heaven, no more pain, no more tears.
