HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to everyone for the prayers, I only have a few minutes got many thing to do before tomorrow.  As many of you know my sister pasted away Wednesday night.  The services are tomorrow morning, it will be very simple.

I am looking for a special poem about sisters, so I can read it tomorrow at Stella's service, does anyone have any suggests.

Thanks to everyone

Peggy, I'm very sorry for your loss. I will look for some poems and get back to you.

What about this:

If tears could build a stairway
and thoughts a memory lane
I'd walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again
No Farewell words were spoken
No time to say good-bye
You were gone before I knew it
And only God knows why.

My heart's still active in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.
But now I know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten
I pledge to you today
A hallowed place within my heart
Is where you'll always stay.

God knows why, with chilling touch,
Death gathers those we love so much,
And what now seems so strange and dim,
Will all be clear, when we meet Him.
I Knew you for a Moment

 or

The woman I call sister
Is someone who was always there
The woman I call sister
Is someone who has always cared.

The woman I call sister
Could make me smile when times were blue
The woman I call sister
Is someone who was always true.

The woman I call sister
By choice, was always my best of friend
The woman I call sister
Will be in my heart to the very end

The woman I call sister
Is the blessing from God above
The woman I call sister
Is the sister that I'll always love.

One morning I found you in eternal sleep;
I tried to wake you as I began to weep,
But all my pleas you could not hear;
Oh if I could have only kept you near,
Away from the voices of those who went before,
Who beckoned you to come to that distant shore.

I find it so very hard to believe
That you have gone and I must grieve;
I call out your name -- you answer not,
And I look for you in every familiar spot.
Everything seems so strange and surreal,
I ask everyday is it a dream or real?

Where are the soft brown eyes of affection?
Where is the laughter and talk of childhood reflection?
Where is the loving care when I was sick or sad?
Where is the generous soul for which I was glad?
Where is the forgiving and understanding heart?
Where are the bonds that were there from the start?

I miss all the little ways you showed you cared,
For there were so many good moments we shared;
Looking back on my life’s assorted scenes,
I realized you taught me what love truly means;
You were my trusted confidante and best friend,
On whose loving support I could always depend.

I look at your smiling face in all my photos;
Memories flood my mind as I touch the mementos
From the happy times you and I have had,
But now these bring tears and make me sad;
For the time together went by in a wink,
Life was not as long as we’d like to think.

Sometimes memories bring comfort and make me smile,
But there are times when grief takes over for a while;
Friends offer gentle words and prayers to console,
And tell me what has happened to your loving soul;
Can it be true what they say of time healing grief?
Is it enough when they say death has given you relief?

Can we believe what others say of a better place,
Where our beloved ones rest in God’s warm embrace?
I should be happy you’re free of pain and sorrow,
And rejoice that you’ll always have tomorrow.
How can I then be so heartbroken and selfishly cry,
Return to me from that peaceful place where you lie!"

Now I look down at your name on a cold hard stone
That says little of the loving light you have shone;
It tells nothing of the wonderful person you were,
And only serves to remind me of the painful loss I endure;
But I know your kind soul wants no tears or pain,
Instead you’d want warm memories and love to remain.

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 dear,
And your caring words I once again long to hear;
My heart’s only solace is one day I will see you as before,
Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore.

Thank you for shareing .. I too will loose a sister soon and so these will be saved on my harddrive until needed..

Wow when this board needs something you all come thru!!

Peggy,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister.  I understand all to well about losing a sibling (I lost my only sibling 9 months ago) and I want you to know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I found this online for you, I thought you might like it.

My prayers are with you,
Pam

Always In My Heart

  It pains me to see you leave,
But I never forget what I've learned through the years we've gone through.

It hurts me to know,
After awhile you'll confide in someone else, not me.

I'll always be there for you,
Even after the end is heaven comes.
I'll always stay true to our bond as one and won’t ever let go.

You are my sister,
And my very best friend of all time,
It's so true.
We'll be that way even after the end has come for us.

You are a part of me,
And never will you ever leave my heart.
All the times we've shared,
Even when we didn't really care at all.

Don't let anyone take my place,
They'll never face or change our times together.

The laughs,
The tears,
The fears,
They have built up through the years.

I'll never let us part,
Because you'll always have a special place in my heart.

Thank you for these poems... I will be saving them to my harddrive for later when I need them..

Linda Kay

Thanks this are very beautiful and will be helpful.

Hugs

Peggy

So sorry to hear of the passing of your sister.. Mine is leaveing me a little each day.. Every day I see her getting weaker and there is nothing I can do to stop it.. I drive her to the hospital for treatments.. take her to lunch once in a while.. Call her and listen to her voice.. I will cherish these moments because soon I know it will be my last.. Cancer is such a horrible illness that snatches people you love and takes  them away when you arent ready.

These poems you asked for will be stored on my harddrive until I need them. Again thank you for asking for them... This is part of one I wrote  for my mom.. it had more to it but it was mom stuff.. I added part about my sister too...

She has gone to be with Jesus
Oh how joyous that must be
Singing praises to my Savior
and sitting at his Knee..

She taught me all about boyfriends
And cooking classes too
Lessons I will cherish
When all this pain is thru

I wouldn't ask her back now
She knows what paradise is like
So Jesus give my Sis a hug
And tell her I'm alright.

Oh Peggy, I am so sorry for your loss. I've not been on a whole lot lately and I am so sorry for you and your family. Those poems are so very heartfelt. Thank you for sharing them everyone. I hope you found the perfect words.
Linda, I'm sorry for what you are going through as well. It's rough to be able to find positive when things get sad. Just know, both of you that we are your family away from family. Or along with them.
We pray for your healed hearts and lift up your sorrows to God.
Bless You

(((HUGSSSS)))
