Her kind spirit set free to travel
From here to the perfect place
Taking flight on the wings of an angel
As she journeyed through time and space.
Where her suffering found ultimate purpose
And the meaning of this life revealed
Experiencing the fullness of God's glory
As she learned that Heaven is real.
A fact beyond our understanding
So let faith out-muscle your mind
As your grieving heart gets mended
By the inexplicable, awesome signs.
Like the final tear that slowly fell
The moment her spirit broke through
There will be those gifts that she playfully gives
Designed to comfort you.
Signs that are sealed in mystery
Delivering hope to the few
She's an expressive force on a cosmic scale
What good and faithful servants do.
With a job well done, she's taken her place
Among the angels and saints, in turn
God only knows what favor she'll bring
In time we will all soon learn.
So let's give our souls a work-out
Practicing chin-ups every day
Looking up and knowing we'll meet again
With sweet Barb being home to stay.
Written with love for my dear sister
who is now in Communion with the Saints
