a beautiful soul has soared away
on the gossamer wings of angels;
even though we miss her smiling face
Heaven is now an even better place,
and we are better for having known her;
moved by the Spirit to help found this church,
her personal touch remains all around us
from the Garden of Eden-like property she found
to her handcrafted signs on these Holy grounds;
her warmly felt spirit remains within us;
but now it is time for Barbara to rest
she has done her best, passed all the tests;
eventually we'll all meet up with her again
together we will say a prayer
and she'll prepare
us a game of Dominoes'
sister Barbara, you bask in the Glory of God
and rest in eternal peace
Amen

Author Notes
A thank you to avmurray for the use of the picture, "Heavenly Flower".
Barbara was an active member of my church and was one of the original group of people who found the property and helped build the church. I read this poem at her Celebration of Life Service March 18, 2018. She is truly missed.
