Sister, where are you?
Did our brothers come greet you?
Did our parents smile?
Are you happy now?
Free from all earthly burdens?
Surrounded by love?
Did this surprise you?
The fast shift from life to death?
Or were you ready?
You seem closer now
No illness to separate
A thin veil away
Easter Day awaits
A rise after suffering
You have risen, too
Your spirit now soars
Free to visit me daily
Unfettered at last
