How do I find words to express my feelings and my thoughts?
I know that the tears I cry and the sadness I feel are for everything I can no longer have or touch. I know in my heart that my beloved sister is no longer in pain. I am thankful I was able to be here with her. This little woman with a huge heart, much, much faith and more courage than I have ever seen, has gone to be with the Lord. She is at peace! She is happy!
In the past few days, she has taught me so much. Not once did she cry or be rude or difficult with any of her nurses. She said please, thank you and was kind to all who came to see her. Even when she was tired, she gave strength to those who were around her. She has touched so many lives here and everywhere she has been. Her friends are many and each one has given me a story of her courage and her faith! And I thank them for this.
The tears I cry are more for me than for her. The sadness I feel is for my loss. I am very happy to know that she is where she wanted to be, with the Lord. For the next few days, I will celebrate her life.
They say memories are golden
Well, maybe that’s true
But we never wanted memories
We only wanted you.
A million times we’ve needed you,
A million times we’ve cried.
If love alone could have save you,
You never would have dies.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.
In our hearts you hold a special place
No one could ever fill.
If tears could build a staircase and
Heartache build a lane,
We’d walk the path to heaven
Just to hold you once again.
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
I knew you for but a moment.

The poem is a composition of a lot of different words I found on line and then tweaked to fit my situation. I cannot give any one person credit for it as there is a lot of me in there too; but I did not do it all on my own.
