Barbara Iris Williams
“Barbara Iris Williams”
I lost my sister today
I knew she was a fighter and she would win
Been at deaths door before and slammed it and moved on
I cannot believe she is gone,
Cancer took another, first my brother than my mother from my life
My family’s hearts broken and torn
Again, cannot believe she is gone
Looking at life come back to her face
Then like a blackboard everything erased
We promise to keep the grandkids and kids safe
We know no one can take her place
She knew we would take care of everything that was no doubt
She was a fighter destined to win this bout
Who thought God would count her out?
That’s only one thing God and Death can talk about
They’ll say who will walk in or who will walk out
We had good times and we were blessed
I believe God takes the best
I’d rather God take someone else
Then to endure the pain we felt
In heaven you will watch over all the rest
The pain and heartache are only a test
Losing a sister is irreplaceable and gone forever
But I believe someday we’ll all be in heaven together
