On Eagle Wings

On Eagle Wings

On eagle wings ...
So went the song
On eagle wings
My sister is gone.

Memories of that day
Still clouded by tears
I can't believe
It's been two years.

Two years of mourning
How do I get through
Two years of life
A life without you.

On eagle wings ...
So went the song
On eagle wings
My sister is gone

.

Two years ago I lost my sister.  This is the first time since writing her eulogy that I have been able to express some of my emotions.  I say some, simply because I know there are so many more.  Emotions that are filled with happy memories of a person so special to me.  Then of course there is the sadness, that hits me when I expect it least, right in my heart, because no matter how I fight with my thoughts or plead to God, I always end up realizing that she is no longer here.  The anger follows next and I get so enraged of why my family have to suffer such a loss.  Anger of why my beautiful, smart, funny, loving sister can no longer live her life; life that should have been full of joy.  In the end I have my feelings and my memories for and of her.  A bright, shining light that was extinguished far too soon.
