This poem is special because I wrote it after the docs
took my sister off life support.

To remember my sister, Ruthie, who was 26 and had MS.
She passed away on August 12, 2005

Lord, I Can Hear You, 
Ruthie is in Heaven

by Ruthie's sister, Mary, aka Marmee

 

Ruthie, the pain you had was left behind
Once you entered Heaven's door,
Held in the arms of God Almighty,
You will never feel pain anymore.

Your beautiful soul now flies freely,
Reaching down from Heaven to mine,
Always to keep you so close to me;
Bound through the passage of time.

Your loving heart is remembered.
It holds a special place in my heart
And I will always keep it held within,
Through every day that we are apart.

It still hurts so much to think of you,
Because I'm missing having you here.
Yet I know that in Heavenly skies,
God's gift to me, is to keep you near.

Ruthie you went so early out of my life
but you will remain in my heart forever, sis.
Rest easy and in peace and
Thank you, sis.
