Little Sister

Dedicated to my dear Sister 



Who would have guessed you finally gave in
and are heading in the direction of your God.
Sister 
this will be the most comforting time
 in all of your life.
No more worries or pain or concerns.
Just a smooth ride through Heavens Gate
At your leisure, whenever you are ready. 
We will wait for you to leave.
Until then, we, your sisters and brother 
will watch over your son 
and be there for him should he need us. 
You can know you did a pretty good job 
at making him strong in so many ways.
Smooth sailing sis on your trip
 to a painless world.
Love forever and a day.

Congratulations, and excellent poem, Virginia. I love the flow of the words and the impact of the message. I am very proud of you and your poetic proliferation. The descriptive excellence is lovely and sends terrific images. The theme of "Little Sister" stands out, and the tone moves the piece down the page with much grace. Great job! Have a fantastic day, and God's richest grace and blessings to you always. –Professor, Ambassador, Dr. Joseph S. Spence Sr. (Epulaeryu Master)!
