in God and Grandma's hands
my beloved sister softly lies
heeding no more unjust human commands
that an imperfect body belies
tears a plenty and remorse yet fully spent
will I pray soon fade
until each of us can clearly look back
and see just what of her marred young life
she made
a beam of her inner glow touches deeply the
baron griever's soul
while grand visions of possible future purpose
play before me my own likely role
dear sister do be brave and please forget not me
and say hello to Grandma even as I bid a
temporary goodbye to thee
we love you Wendy, Bill, Mom Cindy and I
may your journey be unbarred by our apparent ,
weighted grief
and look to that moment when we will meet again
this time in the presence of our all knowing
and so loving Lord
Amen
this I truly believe.....................
