Eulogy Tribute To My Dear Sister Raven

As the ravens fed Prophet Elijah by the brook you brought gentle words to nourish our souls. Like the paintings of Monet, Van Gogh and Degas Your creative artistry of poetry touched our beings. As the great works of the Disciples of Christ Spreading the good news of salvation for all You delivered inspirational and uplifting words Which touched and moved our spirits deeply. Tirelessly you cared for your spouse with abiding love Excelling as a wife and caregiver with such grace For Ruby, your grandmother, you was strong Advocating for health care, you were never wrong For your dear children, you were a great provider Imparting love during times of natural disasters. Now, my sister rests gently in your heavenly home Your lips are closed yet your voice still lives on Like an eagle you will royally spreads your wings Powerfully, yet with the reverence of a dove. As you join the heavenly host now awaits you You will hear a sweet song of refrain, Alleluia! Raven, your home-going has weathered the storm The power of your magical poetic words lives on! © Joseph S.

I selected a format of 2/2/4/6/4/2/2/ for the stanzas of this poem for her in free style. She has made it home to glory. May she sing with the heavenly host, Hosanna in the Highest! May God bless her soul, and continue to provide for her family-members and loved ones.
