Sister Annie

This is something that started off as a letter, and ended up being a poem. I dont know on what address to send it, yet, that is. And so its here!

There is a lady i know,

None other can be so,

Giving, forgiving, Loving, caring,

Opinionated and strong,

Seldom going wrong.

She surrendered herself to her God,

Worships Him in her every breath,

Remembers Him at every test.

A pillar of strength herself,

Willing to come and forever help.

I admire you, Sister Annie,

and love you, so.

You have been like a mother,

A friend, a confidant,

A healer, a teacher,

And so much more.

You believed in me

and my abilities.

You showed me a path of life,

I was completely unaware of .

You  gave me the courage, 

To love the poor, the needy.

You made me grow fat, Sister, insisting that i eat!

You have been, are and always will,

A profound influence in my life.

I could sit and chat with you

for hours, without strife.

Your sweet voice to me 

Was like a cooling medicine,

For so many of my undisclosed tensions.

A dialogue with you soothed and calmed me.

It was almost like spirituality.

I could so connect with you, instantly.

Now that ur gone,

I miss you humongously.

The wonderful times,

The simple life,

An ocean of love,

Where everyone could dive.

I wish one day,

I can do as much for you,

As you have

By simply being you!
