Emma

When I close my eyes to think of you
Your big bright smile comes into view
A person who was gentle, loving, thoughtful and unassuming
Limelight shy, Caring, Sensitive and appealing
I watched you grow as like from a seedling to a flower
An English Rose, Blossoming, despite life’s showers
Your petals glistened, reflecting sunshine
I was always proud that you were a sister of mine
A life still young
Your Lord Jesus took you away
So suddenly, unexpected
Much to our grief and dismay
We don’t know why this had to happen!
But I know that he has you in his hand
For in a short life lived, you’d touched the hearts of so many
In a way that we all would wish we can
I am just so very glad to have known you
As sisters we were close
I’m just sorry it wasn’t to be for longer
But in loving you I can boast!
Even though I’m missing you
I know you’re there in heaven
This is not just a cliche - One day we will meet again!
I will always carry with me my memories of you……until then!
