Sisters Passing

Life has curves in the roads that are paved bruised and battered memories some we have forgotten some we have saved. All my life I looked into the heavens for all of the answers Now I'm seeking for God his Angels and his dancers. Sitting in prison with no one to hold I scream out at Jesus who now I began to scold. WHY?, I ask in a rumbling rage DID YOU TAKE MY LITTLE SISTER AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE? Cursing at God in a ugly angry voice I ask, WHY HER AND NOT ME AS YOUR CHOICE? ARE YOU NOT BRAVE ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE WICKED THAT YOU PRANCE ON THE WEAK AND PUNCH OUT HER TICKET? SHOW ME YOUR FACE AND STAND STRONG AGAINST ME SHOW ME YOUR WRATH IF YOU ARE ALL YOU CLAIM TO BE! TAKE ME GOD AND GIVE BACK MY BABY SISTER SEND ME TO HELL AND LET MY SKIN BLISTER! Just as I started to curse him out more Something suddenly happened as I was knocked to the floor. The sky began to thunder and my cell door started to rattle Did God finally show up to fight this lonely battle. Within this mist I continued to stare Thinking, 'He wouldn't come He wouldn't even dare'! Suddenly the room began to clear dazed and confused a voice I can hear! Soft and warm the voice said to me Relax big brother it's me your sister Sandy! The voice said, "Don't be sad or feel any sorrow Live your life today for there is always tomorrow! Where I am at is full of wondrous glory Just read your Bible it will tell you the story! Be calm and be there for our mother Be strong for sisters and for our brothers! I'm just fine and singing in Gods Choir So please don't weep and let your eyes tire! God has plans for each and everyone For me and for you and for all that we have done! It's never to late to open your heart and your eyes You too could live in this Kingdom of clear blue skies! Within seconds the cell room cleared The vision was gone and all that I feared. Full of warmth and a comfortable feeling I surrendered to God and started to kneeling. These feelings I have will never be the same There is more to life than this prison game. Upon my release and as I exit this cell I will kindly remind myself that I was living in Hell. So thank you little sister for this vision so real Soon we will be together and share Gods glorious will. I have now made my peace with God and pleased with his decision I will gracefully thank him and praise him for this vision. By Edward F. Hill
