his wings carry him along the morning mist on mountains, like an eagle he soars above those he loves his watchful eye upon them. He walks slowly beside his mother to bed and watches her eyes flutter in her dreams. He loves his father and honors him even in heaven. Bless this young man, for he is on the other side...
