Brooke’s Sister Natasha

My sweet Brooke I woke this morning to the sound of thunder and rain

The earth was crying out for you with with groans so full of pain

My soul is longing to hold you and stroke your long red hair

Why didn’t I scream I love you whenever you were there

You’re taken further from me with the rising of the sun

Why did you have to leave me our journey had just begun

I looked forward to your wedding day and birth of your first child

But God had a different plan for you I know you’re running so free and wild

I hold your memories close and long to feel you near

Then I think of the pain the world brought and how you’re free from fear

The suffering you felt ran deep, I wish I’d better understood

Jesus Christ now holds you in his arm and does what no one ever could

He frees you from anxiety, depression and all your scars

You’re now in glorious perfection shining brighter than any star

What I would give to hold you one last time and see your glowing green eyes

For now I’ll live with faith that one day I’ll join you in the skies

Brooke thank you for your life your love and lessons of empathy

I will now live the rest of my life so differently

I’ll try to love the way you loved without judgement or condition

I’ll enjoy the tender moments and stop more often just to listen

The loss of you will forever be imprinted on my heart

You’re now my sweet guardian angel our spirits will never part

I love you Brooke
