I cast my eyes upward.
Looking for what?
I'm not exactly sure.

Maybe I'm looking up, trying to see you.
Longing to see you in your shiny new wings,
And golden halo.

Maybe I'm looking upward
To find some comfort in your passing,
Knowing you're gone from this life,
Yet finding a better one
Somewhere, beyond the clouds.

I cast my eyes upward,
Hoping to see
You casting your eyes downward
Looking at me.

I love you, Addie.
Be at peace, then.
