He Has His Reasons

My heart is broken

Tears have been falling for so long

God is calling you home

Ending your seasons

He has his reasons

He knows you have touched many people

And that you were an amazing sister

My best friend

You'll be free of pain and suffering

I'll miss our midnight talks

Hearing your infectous laugh

Our family will never be the same

You kept us close

Showing your courage and strength

Giving us your sincere love

We'll miss everyday your gone

You'll be watching us from above

With your angelic wings on

Waiting at the gate

Welcoming us home

Very touching. I was just thinking of my dad who passed away because of cancer. Brought tears to my eyes for the 2nd time tonight. It has been 2 months since he left us and it still hurts at times.

Shirley, your poem speaks volumes of love and grief. Your sister is grieving no more, and now feels no pain. That is for those who have been left behind. But you will see her again. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope and pray that time will ease your pain.

A beautiful tribute to your sister and your friend. I'm so sorry you and your family have to go throught this. I have lost my father and my older brother. I know it hurts. But speak her name often and keep her in your hearts .Just saying her name keeps her with you.

This is lovely and heart felt, Shirley. There are no words to comfort now, but your beautiful memories will sustain you as they replace your loss, day by day. This is the gift that comes after sorrow and loss from a loving Father in Heaven.

I have some friends there waiting for me, too. My pastor (who is one of them) used to say it made Heaven sweeter to have folks waiting for you. :)
