"My Dear Sister"

Remembering my beloved sister, who is now deceased, today, on her birthday. Thank you for teaching me about Christ, and life!
On my pillow, as I lay,
Remembering you, on your birthday,
I have sweet memories in my mind
Sweet memories of you, one of a kind.

Yes, I still see you standing there,
Your bright brown eyes, your dark brown hair.
Still teaching me the right from wrong,
Still molding me, and making me strong!

You have showed me, all the roads to take,
Protected me, each day I'd wake.
Yes, you, Dear Sister, were always there,
You always knew, just how much I could bear.

You taught me about Jesus,
And what he could do,
You encouraged me to trust Him,
Let Him carry me through.

So if sometimes, I might feel lost,
I count the blessings and weigh the cost!
The cost that Jesus Christ paid for me,
The day he died on Calvary!

One day, Yes! I will see you again,
My Dear, Beloved Sister, My Special Friend,
But if one day, I do I feel lonely,
I can hear you say, ... "Trust Jesus Only!"
