When I Fly

When I fly from this world
I will fly with heavy wings,
Weighted down with my love
Of so many earthly things.
When I fly from this world
I have hardly come to know,
I will bear a cruel weight
Of reluctant farewell when I go.
So many things, so many strings,
So many ties to hold me here below,
When I fly from this world
To the nothing I will be,
I will carry too much love
Along with me.
