A poem for our dear sister Ree.

NORTHERN LIGHTS

I stood alone in the darkness watching

the northern lights dancing in the sky

It was like the angels in the heaven

Dancing for a passerby

It seemed like they were dancing

To music that I couldn't hear

I felt the angels saying

"Tonight's our chance to let you know we are near"

I felt that they were dancing

To a silent drummer only they could hear

Dancing across the sky just for me

I wonder, "Do angels ever shed a tear?"

Just when you thought they were gone

They would show up again for a lonely passerby

Then nothing else in the world matters

As you...
