Analysis of Face in the clouds
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Lift me up to your light sacred father let me see your face once more in the clouds
Separate the mirrors over my eyes that I might glimpse a second of your existence once more
Sit beside me as my thoughts fly on such a severe nightmare without you
Dearest father you have witnessed my thoughts now
You have seen my life torn a sunder and at peace with the heavens
Father in the clouds so familiar my loving family beside you I miss you
You were our face in the croud, the one we looked up to, that everyone knew, now you are a torch burning brightly in heavens corridors
Remember our love father
