Sister (A Tribute)

Sister - Treading the path that illumines my heart, Silent companion, augural friend, accomplice divine, Breath of purity's fire, resilient power of faith and of love, Beauteous melody, earthly existence of a heavenly soul, Celestial reality, unbound aspiration and joy of this life, Extended Divinity, dream of God's future, present and past. The day now remains, it invokes and extols     The Flame of your Purity -  Simplicity white,     Your Light of Humility - emerald Grace,     The Heart of your Gratitude - blossoming blue,     The Wings that will guide us to cities of gold,         Havens in Heaven echoing your immaculate song. Sister - Treading the path that enlivens my heart, Earthly road praising your illumining, beatifying soul, Blessed are you by the Lord of the earth and the skies, Blessed are we whom your presence enthralls and inspires.
