FOR LANE
by Tom Tagliente, 35
Solon, Ohio
When the winds
of change are blowing your way
Turn and face
them head on and pray
And let them
guide you safely home
To a peaceful
place where your spirit may roam
Do not be sad
when you say good-bye
There is a
better place awaiting you in the deep-blue sky
Calling you home
to rest your soul
To refresh your
mind and take control
God has called
you back as your work here is done
Your role here
on Earth was an important one
As your grace
now dances in the golden sunlight
Your
accomplished achievements shine oh so bright
There is a
reason you left us so very soon
The Lord is with
you this warm afternoon
Your life has
been renewed through time and grace
But alas, again
we will see your face
When the tides
turn rough and toss your boat
Steer her with
pride, and don't turn tail and float
Face the winds
of change which guide you today
Spread your
wings proudly and fly away
Your home among
angels and singing with joy
Like the days of
your youth when you were just a small boy
You are dancing
with joy now without any qualms
Graceful and
smiling on God's outstretched palms
