Papa Girl

As I struggle along my way, You asked me how I feel today, and there is one thing I must say to you most honestly if I may. In the simplest way I can find, I must first ask if you have the time, because presently, I am clearly so inclined to speak honestly within reasonable lines. A dear and beloved one departed last night. She shined into my life the brightest of lights. My Lord knows best and always does what is right. So, I am answering you with these words I write. She was very rare, and her atmosphere was clear pure air. She was beautiful within and without, and loved to share. For most of her 22 years, she was deep into my world. Her name was Asia, but I called her Papa Girl. In my prayer, I spoke to the Lord of my protest, clearly presenting to Him my most sacred request; but for His own sovereign reason, He thought it best to take my dear one home to her eternal rest. The walls of my emotions feel cracked and very thin. Grief will come and go, off and on, never knowing when. Never completely gone, but in time it'll be like a gentle wind. So, in deepest honesty, there you have it, my friend. 101023PS
