The Dragonfly

I haven't written poetry in years so bear with me. 



Oh my little dragonfly 
who lit up every piece of sky
Your smile so precious and
 held dear to all of those so near. 
We miss your laugh we miss your life
although filled with constant strife. 
Beyond the heavens you reach and sing
with echos of a happy ring
A life cut short but a time to die
left us all the need to cry
We celebrate you with unending joy
a beautiful precious little boy
A teacher to those who were willing to hear
how love will always conquer fear
A life full of ups and downs 
with mostly smiles and very few frowns
Led to an angel watching above
taking care of all he will love
Not a marker or place in the ground
but the sun, the moon, and stars abound
All around you can feel his name 
like a rise to unending fame
Hey Jude, we say when we feel him near
his ears must perk up with fulfilling cheer
Hold on tight for it won't take long
to be together in an after song
A song filled with heavens light of family
friends and a beautiful night. 
Gone from our sight you flew away
but we will see you again one fine spring day.
