Peeking through the veil

Envisioning forever

Wishing I had wings

*

Today marks the one year anniversary of when my dad was reunited with my mom in heaven. Oh what I would give for wings.

    Wonderful elegy for your parent's, Kelli! Now we see through a mirror darkly, then we will see face-to-face.

    I would love to see my mom and dad and big brother and get my wings. Just have to try and be patient. Great inspirational poem.
