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!

Author’s Comments: This is dedicated to our great friend and poetess Raven. 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.
