A most compassionate and uplifting reminder that Katharine's sister, Pat, is with God now...and though grief is fresh, their sibling love is eternal!

Comment from Jessica Wheeler
This is a lovely and inspiring Kyrielle. Your beautiful lines flow gently with perfect meter and beautiful wording.
This hit especially hard for me, having known the loss of a sibling I was extremely close to. I am so sorry to hear of Pone Lover's loss, and I'll keep her in my prayers!

I knew you would understand the most. Your sister was so young when she left for Heaven. Thanks so much for your prayers for Katharine. She says they talked every day. That must be so hard.
Appreciate the many stars for this little poem. Hugs!

I deeply appreciate that. You possess a true talent for creating profound impacts with few lines.
I pray she will find strength. xxoo

I so relate to this poem, Helen. It sounds like a tribute to my sisters, although they are both still with me. I know that Debbie appreciates your kindness and compassionate gesture.
Blessings, sweet girl,
Deb

It's for Katharine I wrote the poem. She was very close to her sister and I'm glad I could write a few words but the prayers are the most important thing. Thanks so much, Deb!
Hugs!

The kyrielle is a lovely structure to hold these sensitive words for Pome Lover. I feel sure they will bring her great comfort at this time of tragic loss. The insistence of that repeating line, 'Your sister's love is always there', acts like a musical ostinato.

Thank you so much, Tony! Appreciate learning the word "ostinato" - a fun word to say other than a leitmotif.
Hugs!

Comment from RJ Heritage
Very nostalgic and beautifully written poem.l am not familiar with the book, but it is obvious that this is heartfelt. To me it reads like a tribute not just to Southern family life, but to one that you experience firsthand through the love of a Sister.
God bless and give strength to all those who lost a sibbling in death.

This hits so close to home. My sister and I had a somewhat troubled relationship growing up. She found religion just as I became old enough to exercise my youthful passions fully. She tried unsuccessfully to change me until the day I became a Jehovah's Witness. She then began a crusade to try and convince me that I was involved in the wrong pursuit. After I was able to demonstrate the changes my beliefs had made in transforming me and I was able to full explain my reasons for believing. she opened up fully to me and my new lifestyle. She did some wonderful things for me and refused absolutely to allow me to pay her in any way. I wrote and published my first book as a gift I knew she would not reuse. Sadly she died just a few weeks before it came out. That is a source of grief and regret that haunts me often.

But your sister rejoices in Heaven over your publishing successes. Even though doctrinally, we may not agree, the Lord will clear everything up when we enter into His Presence. So you need not have any regret as the Lord has taken care of everything more than we can imagine. Thanks for sharing and reviewing. Hugs and blessings!
