For beloved Jackie:
I hope God welcomes Bald Eagles, Dogs, Cats and other beloved animals in heaven, as well as humans, or it will not be the happiest place to spend eternity. JMHO!
"High Flight" written in 1941
by FCAF aviator John Gillespie Magee Jr. [2 modifications in bracks]
"​Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
"And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
"Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
"Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things
"You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung
"High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
"I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
"My eager [wings] through footless halls of air...
"​Up, up the long, delirious burning blue
"I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
"Where never lark, or [other] eagle flew
"And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
"The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
"Put out my [talon], and touched the face of God."
