test
And found an empty place
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face
He put His arms around you
And lifted you to rest
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine"
It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
]]>All my pleas you could not hear; Oh how I wish I could have only kept you near,
I find it so very hard to believe; That you have gone and we must grieve;
I call out your name but you answer not, And I look for you in familiar spots.
Everything seems so strange and surreal; I ask is it a dream or real?
Where are the soft eyes of affection; Where is the laughter and talk of reflection?
Where is the generous soul for which I was glad; Where is the forgiving and understanding heart?
Where are the bonds that were there from the start?
I miss all the little ways you showed you cared, For there were so many good moments we shared;
Looking back on life's assorted scenes, I realized you taught me what love in sisterhood truly means;
You were my trusted confidante and friend, On whose loving support I could always depend.
I look at your smiling face in photos; Memories flood my mind as I recall those moments.
From the happy times you and I shared, But now these times bring tears.
For the time together went by in a wink, Life was not as long as we'd like to think.
Sometimes memories bring comfort and make me smile, But there are times when grief takes over for a while;
We should be happy you're free of pain and sorrow, And rejoice that you'll always have tomorrow.
How can we then be so heartbroken and selfishly cry, I know your kind soul wants no tears or pain,
Instead you'd want warm memories and love to remain.
Although we cry and stand grief-stricken, I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave me;
But still I miss you so very much my sister dear, And your caring words I once again long to hear;
My heart's only solace is that one day I will see you as before, Calling me to come join you on that white distant shore.
