So flew the birdie
High above
Along with the angels
Far over the clouds
To freedom and delight
She went away
To a place without pain
Or sorrow, ever
Through a golden gate
Into a light so bright
She is now fine
But before she left us
She told us about Jesus
Because she wanted us with her
To the love of Heaven
This poem is dedicated to my Grandmother Laila, who passed away in 2015. I read a Finnish version of this at her funeral.
