I stood beside the empty grave
Waiting for my friend,
Saying deep within my soul,
“This cannot be the end.”
Then I heard a mighty roar;
Looked into the blinding sky
As four planes in close formation
Streaked above to say good-bye.
In a single moment
One pulled out, up, and away
And left a gaping hole
In that formation on this day.
As he did a “barrel roll”
(Bounding upward to disappear)
I heard my friend’s bright laughter
As I wiped away a tear.
In that priceless, shining moment
My heart leaped up with pride
For I knew my friend would forever fly.
I knew he had not “died.”
