Sunset tonight,
The clouds trimmed in gold.
Laced in pure splendor.
The evening turns cold.
Dark blue horizon
Speaks nearing rain
Reminds me of sorrow
Whispers of pain.
Across the valley
Spreads far as can be
Glimmers of glory,
Like heav’ns shining sea
I think of her wistfully
And wish that I knew
Her face, her sweet voice,
Her eyes sparkling blue
An angel in heaven..
She’s been there awhile.
Meanwhile her family
Is missing her smile.
I imagine I’m with her
To talk or just be
Together as sisters,
She sits beside me.
Sometimes I pretend that
She comes home to stay.
To be with us all,
Never venturing away.
But it’s all just a wish,
Passing flash through the night
Only a daydream
Whisked out of sight.
All I have now is hope
Of a reunion sweet.
On the green hills of heaven
At last we shall meet.
(In memory of Raquel, Ross’s sister that I never knew.)
