White wings aflutter Soft breeze below We watch you rise We pray as you go All of the memories and the laughter stay The love in our hearts Will never go away

I beg of you “don’t leave me!” I plead with you “don’t go!” I’m flooded with the memories that only you and I know We are the sand in the hourglass I know we all have our time But for now I think of you as mine and pray that Heaven’s calendar allows us many more suns to shine …. Sister #poetry

holding vigil by the fire searching signals in the smoke my Angels are not frightened by this heat I become as water and douse the flames of fear the radiance of coal beneath my feet

There’s never time when you need it and too much when you don’t The hindsight that lingers too late to tell you “Don’t!” Lessons that we treasure the costs so often high The word that we fear to say the answers of our “why?”
