blue miles walked
there were some
so terribly dark
among so very many
every angles approach
splashed coldly with despair
courage whispered her words
of hope
until mercy it seems
chose to hold her hands with
destiny
the prayed for conclusion
battled and won
its favored end
the bosom of an open armed family
stands in welcome regard
grown sisters
so moved by the moment
seeing each other as sisters
for the first time
hugging and crying
in stunned embraces
like wonderous happy children
so eagerly awakened
upon Christmas morning
the once so wary shadow
recedes
joy stretches out her arms
and envelopes
a miraculous new chapter
in all our lives
that one amazing day
the day our sister Jeanie
found her way home to us...........
