Fierce Presence

My Beautiful Big Sister
My Beautiful Big Sister

Sunbeam smile lights my room

love warms, permeates

~

Tinkling laughter floods my soul

joy rises, calms

~

Talent overflows my walls

spark kindles, blazes

~

Remembered words fill my mind

truth frees, empowers

~

Garden blooms invade my sight

fragrance bursts, heals

~

Wings soaring overhead

confidence grows, encourages

~

Guiding spirit walks my dreams

fear flees, releases

Two years after her passing, I have come to know that my Sister will always be with me – inside and out. I see her everywhere, in every corner of my life and every aspect of my being. I feel as close to her now as I did when she physically sat beside me. My gratitude for the gift of her presence is simply too large for words, but I will continue in my feeble attempts at giving it voice, none-the-less.

Is there someone in your life who has crossed to the other side, but you still feel them? How do they come to you? What do they tell you? How does their presence help you?
