We who are left behind
ponder and weep for her.
We who still breath and move forward
stop and gaze in blank bewilderment.
The questions left behind resound
through the halls of humanity.
The answers held safely in the hands
of the One who knows all.
She is at peace now -
she is resting at His feet -
she is gazing at the One who is Beauty -
her questions now answered once and for all.
She calls down to us in love and joy
forgiving those who damaged her frame
thanking those who befriended her gently
loving forever those who touched her spirit.
She will never forget the gentle acts of kindness
the soft spoken words of encouragement
the never ending love of her family and friends.
She rests now in Spring meadows
her bed made of pink and yellow wildflowers
her coverlet the warm whisper of love.
Her life story will be forgotten
but her love will remain eternal.
Rest in peace sweet sister.
