When I close my eyes to think of you Your big bright smile comes into view A person who was gentle, loving, thoughtful and unassuming Limelight shy, Caring, Sensitive and appealing I watched you grow as like from a seedling to a flower An English Rose, Blossoming, despite life’s showers Your petals glistened, reflecting sunshine I was always proud that you were a sister of mine A life still young Your Lord Jesus took you away So suddenly, unexpected Much to our grief and dismay We don’t know why this had to happen! But I know that he has you in his hand For in a short life lived, you’d touched the hearts of so many In a way that we all would wish we can I am just so very glad to have known you As sisters we were close I’m just sorry it wasn’t to be for longer But in loving you I can boast! Even though I’m missing you I know you’re there in heaven This is not just a cliche - One day we will meet again! I will always carry with me my memories of you……until then!
