Come on,,you all know her. here is some help

she knows how to fly a plane

she signed guest web in Avon Park,Florida

Her father was flight instructor at Avon Park, Florida

She lives in California, with husband Larry

Her married nane rymes with TEEN

 

Watching the Sky

In loving mermory of my Dad, ,Loren D. Holmes

 

On currents not seen by the human eye,

A biplane climbs in the sky

Wafting through clouds and over the sea,

It dips wings in salute and waves to me

 

I watch it pass by on double wing

And my mind wanders away, reminiscing

To another time and faraway place

when the plane and I were a part of that space

 

To a day long ago, an afternoon in July

floating through the air, my Dad and I

He the pilot and I his crew

cast cares to the wind and away we flew

 

We lift off the ground on a breath of thin air

then turn and bank, the wind in our hair.

The propeller turns and the engine roars

As we cruise high above the earth’s emerald floor

 

A journey through time and a sojourn in space

we fly on and on with the wind in our face

Time seems suspended and the day falls away

as we spend precious hours in this magical play

 

A patchwork below us, sky blue, clouds above

I sit in my jumpsuit, my heart filled with love

for the plane and the man and the privilege

we share, together this day, flying through the air

 

From that time to this, I remember that day

as I see two wings cross the sky and I silently say

Hello to the man who taught me to watch the sky

for the sight of a biplane – which brings a tear to my eye…
