Sister to Sister

We are sisters
We have different mothers
but we are born of the same father
My eyes are brown, yours are blue
My hair is brown, yours is blonde
My skin is dark, yours is pale
We look different, we act different
and we talk different
but we have the same heart
We are sisters
We are of a common creed
Our goal is souls - Our weapon is prayer
We live in different cities
We sit in different pews
but we shed the same tears for the lost
We like different foods
But we drink from the same well
We are sisters of a common creed
Our banner is unity - Our bond is love
and we enter Father's presence
through the same door.
You are my sister - and I am yours

God Smiled

“God smiled the day we became friends…”
His plan was yet to be revealed.
Unknown to us, we were bound by Christ
Forever our love would be sealed.

We thank God, our Loving Father
for this ever so perfect plan.
That which brought us all together
Was guided by His loving hand.

In all of the chapters of our lives,
God was the author….we know
He scripted our lives with His pen & ink
As our friendship continued to grow.

Our families and loved ones surrounded us
Consuming the lives we lived
God patiently waited in the shadows
For our eyes to focus on him

Successes & failures we’ve all had
Happiness & pain we’ve all known
God watched out and protected
And always called us His Own

There is no measurable distance
Or time in the friendship we share.
Even in times we are separated
We always know one another care

Our hearts still remain one & the same
A friendship that never ends
For this Gift of God’s love & each other
We are so thankful…. Forever friends!
