A Little More Time

Guardians Angels from up above, please 
Surround my sister with bountiful love
Calm her mind, help soothe her pain
Slow the cancer running in her veins

Diagnosed only 6 months ago 
Filling us all with a overwhelming fear
We know your waiting with open arms
As her final days are all too near

We're not ready to let her go
Give us a just little more time
To shower her with all of love
Before she makes heavens climb

 We loss our mom almost a year ago, now my sister is going to join her.
 Marina is 54

It s really sad to know about your sister, I know about cancer and believe me the person in it is in immense pain, hat life is nothing, every night the fear of death, every second,death coming more closer and especially after Chemo, the person is finish, deah may sound cruel but in cancer, it atleast gives the person peace, now I am sure that your sister shall be in heavens, sitting with your mother, free from every pain, every fear, good luck and have a nice day

Cecilia, I will be thinking of you today and the weeks ahead, just taking time to try to understand what you are dealing with. There is no peace to offer or kind thing to say that can ease this tragedy. You wrote a beautiful poem, and your sister is fortunate to have a loving family. I am sorry for what is happening.

Thank you Duke. My sister passed away on March 3, 17 days after I sent up this prayer asking for a little more time, which we were granted and I will be forever grateful for. She followed by mom one year and one day later. They are now my guardian angels looking out for me. I miss them both terribly but they remain in my heart forever.

you have written a heartfelt poem that tugs at my heart strings; you and your sister have prayers from Kansas.

Thank you for your kind wish Lewis. This has been the hardest thing I've been through.

This is heartbreaking, to lose anyone is so difficult, but to watch them die, helplessly is so hard and breaks the heart... I hope her last moments are peaceful and you can spend some time with her.. Your sister is in my prayers..
