Child of Love

Alive in hearts you served so well Far b’yond the call; b’yond oceans’ swell Come rain or shine you were always there For family, friends and strangers cared Child of love; reflecting pool Mirror of your parents; God’s building tool Foundation most solid, you withstood the gales And mocking waves, arose, only to fail You heard His call; you ran the race Bathe in joy exquisite as you see his face! God of Salvation, God of love Who called you to Himself; your home above Forever, you’ll be to your family left behind Flesh of our flesh and of God’s Spirit, divine ~*~ RIP: Winifred Elizabeth Beryl Carey 08/17/12

Ohhh, I am so sorry for your loss, your sister is looking down with pride at these wonderful words of tribute you have written for her. In the process you have given us a gift by allowing us to look in at this most intimate of experiences. I applaud both your courage and love, you honor her with both.

It makes so painfully hurt far into the soul losing someone you love. You have written a moving, but lovely poem here Annalise. Hoping the pain will be a little easier with time. oxox / / Anne-Lise :)
