The Beauty In You

I seen the beauty within you you unfurled it and let it flew touching all each passing day heart of gold when it came to a childs play god sent down his special angels and saving that dance to a heavenly tango guess God needed you more then I but do not fret sis for my heart now sighs just knowing your with our family above someday we'll rejoice on the wings of a dove for the wolf and shepherd may cross my path but it is I that shall have its last laugh for one can not take away those loving years even if I'm the one left standing alone in tears for time we shared together was given few I was honored to see the inner beauty in you your loving daughter and son will be alright as they look upon the land and see the stars shine so bright so as you travel above the high drifted planes Ill be waiting for god to someday explain How can one so young and free Be taken away from somebody like me but I will be thankful for having a sister like you who shared her passion and beauty for life and for all she knew In Loving Memory Of My Sister Phyllis {1951 - 2009 } RIP

Katherine, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thinking of her enjoying heaven is a good way to keep her memory alive. It's sad she was so young; I can feel your pain of loss. My Dad was much older when he died last January and I like to think of him holding hands with my mother in heaven. Bless you for sharing this beautiful tribute with us.
