One morning under a clear blue sky day, There was a crisp September chill in the air, As the sun shone down in a brilliant golden ray, Upon all the sweet flowers and people gathered there. The fall leaves gently rustling with the breeze, Whispered soft sounds that soothed the soul. Birds flew on silent wing amongst the trees, Singing sweet melodious songs as if to console. Although it was a day that was heaven sent, It was tinged with a sadness few want to face, For beneath the beautiful sunny sky was a table, Carrying a draped coffin at its resting place. Inside a beloved sister now silent, cold and still, Lying in eternal slumber over her waiting grave, As loved ones gathered to witness Gods will, And to speak kindly of the warmth that she gave. The pastor spoke verses well used over many years, Assuring all she is with those whove gone before; As loved ones tried to see through blinding tears, And offer prayers for a new soul on a distant shore. A loving sister spoke of her good and kind heart, And of the care given when loved ones were sick or sad. She talked of friendship and of bonds there from the start, And of a warm generous soul for which she was glad. With a final loving glance and nothing more to say, She was laid to rest beneath the sod with care, As the sun shone down in a brilliant golden ray, Upon all the sweet flowers and angels gathered there. Although I cry and stand grief-stricken by your grave, I promise not to forget the loving memories you gave; But still I miss you so very much my sister, And your caring words I once again long to hear; My hearts only solace is one day I will see you as before, Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore. RIP sister...
