~ (~) ~ Dedicated In Love To My Little Sister ~ Tina ~ My Songbird ~ (~) ~
Sissy little Sissy... you fought all your days as it were... . But grateful I am because what you
left behind for me is the wealth of your heart so-open... precious... unconditional, pure. Yes
Sissy with your broken lungs and all, watching the other children run... as they play.
Faithful you were though even given the-burden of-this.
You knew that in Heaven you'd be able finally yourself to do this, you knew with God
everything carries the pleasure, of a brighter day... ! Now I know you are with Him, I honestly
believe running like children will run come them in their glory by name, all their days, Monday
through Sunday... !
God knows... it was my hope for you-you would be brought to know them in their freedom...
joy... yes... their fun... !
You taught me the greatest thing as you sat talking with everyone through those tender
moments given you, gasping for-air... ! Knowing, trying to offer them this truth... .
Because being merely six and one half at the time still you knew, had been shown this
yourself, were grateful, prayed to remain. You knew "Love is patient, kind and generous,
heavenly, faithfully-and-eagerly; tenderly-aware... ."
And Sissy-too... I believe now given that day you passed... beams of light shining strait on
you in your bed in your room, dust gently drifting... . God He came down as the waterfalls do
personally picked you up and carried you off to Heaven with Him... ! And I can't wait myself
someday as well, yes I can only hope as I pray now to see you there... !
Signed forever grateful:
Your brother ~ Jamie ~
