How Precious Is My Sister - (a poem)
68How precious is my sister, she means the world to me
Her laughter when I hear it, sets my spirit free,
I can hear how she loves me, when she speaks my name
I wonder does she know that, I'll never be the same,
And that she fills up my heart, that never has been filled
And gives wings of joy to my soul, when she does God's will?
So when she struggles or starts to fall, into Satan's hand
I get on my knees and I pray until, she again begins to stand,
I see her strength comes not from her, but strictly from above
Then I know that she's been on her knees, receiving God's pure love.
Just which way will my sister go, as she follows God?
She goes the way He would seem to lead, because her feet are shod
With the preparation of the gospel, because she cares to do His will
And daily petitions the Lord her God, for His Spirit He would fill,
She daily searches the word of God, to gain His light each day
Then takes every step in that light, that shows her the way,
O how precious is my sister, that means the world to me
That partners in the work of God, so all the world can see,
That joins her prayer unto mine, where two on earth agree
That moves those mountains one by one, and casts them in the sea?
O lovely Jesus' daughter, thy spirit do I laud
I pray wondrous blessings from on high, from the hand of God.
I pray you know I love thee, and as long as God allows
I'll be here to stand with thee, 'gainst all the noisy crowds,
Against all those that'd hurt you, to slander your sweet name
Who'd raise a hand up to hurt you, or try to defame
What you would stand for, as you work to do His will
And show others where to go for the Spirit to be filled.
O how precious is my sister that means the world to me?
If so much love is here on earth, how much eternity?

Thank you my friend and sister. I wrote this from my heart and I didn't think it was my best work because I lost the rhythm. Plus when it involves someone so precious as my sister, I wanted it perfect. Well, as perfect as possible, anyway. Lots of Love.
Nobody, This is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! You have a wonderful gift! I am sure that your sister would be touched by your caring, dear, heartfelt, wonderful poetic expression. Your sincerity, concern, compassion and love for her rings through so clearly! How thoughtful of you! What a beautiful living tribute. What a dear brother you are... Thank you for sharing your heart! Again Wonderful! Blessings!!! BRAVO!!!
Thank you DeB, I wrote this partly for you as well my sister. It has application to you for I love you as well and we will share heaven together too.
All I can say is... WOW
Love Pammy
Thank you girly. I like our friendship. I just came from helping my son get some more of the stuff from his mom's house. They had lived there some 15 or so years. Most of his and my daughter's childhood memories were there. He let me have his and my daughter's baby books to keep for him. It is so weird to see so many things I had forgotten from living there with them when they were so young and seeing so many things that they did after I left. It was bittersweet. Anyway I wonder if you look and she look alike as children too. I don't know probably not. Oh yeah, I wrote this for one particular sister but I also had other sisters I now have in mind and you can put yourself in that bunch. Love you Pammy.
A truly lovely poem and tribute to your sister. I can relate, as I have five sisters! Thank you for sharing your creativity. God Bless!
I truly have been blessed by knowing my sister Belinda. She used to get a spanking every time I did because she was so sure I didn't deserve it, she would try to defend me. She always thought of me as her hero. When I left home and then got excommunicated from the Jehovah's Witnesses I was kept from my sister. I could have no contact at all and she was 11 years old. She left home to try to find me in Rochester, NY and got as close as 7 city blocks from me. I got reunited with her only a few years ago and she prayed the prayer of salvation with me. Now we are brother and sister in every sense of the word. My other sister Dee is precious to me as well. I have only known her for only a little over 6 months. I can say anything to her and trust her with any secret. Only the Lord can produce the kind of love that bridges two people's lives so that they can stand in one Spirit like this. She calls me or I call her every few days or less. We pray together and confide in each other. Thru Dee I have other brothers and sisters that haven't even met but that I hope to know in time. I love both of my sisters so much and am so blessed.
WOW! What a story! Have you written about this forced separation? That I would like to read.
no I hadn't. she is quite the lady. Thanks. Perhaps I will write about it.

Wow. I am speechless ~~ your ability to express the love of God blesses my heart so! I am so happy to be your sister in the Lord, and there is no better brother than he who shines the love of Christ so so precious in His sight. If love through man can be so great, how great the love of the One who created it! Agape love, there is no greater; Jesus proved His love on the cross and even through each other! Bless you, brother. In His love, JD :)
