A dedication to our first sister

Chamma, how is it that we never saw your wings
when you were here with us on earth?
When you closed your eyes and soared,
to the Heavens, we could hear the
faint flutter of your wings as you left.
Your body no longer on this side,
Your spirit here eternally, we see your halo shine.
We close our eyes and see your multi-colored wings
surround us in our saddest moments and our happiest times.
Sister, our angel, God has given you your assignment
always our sister and forever our angel!
You fly into our dreams and, when we are asleep,
We feel your wings brush against our faces, wiping away
the tears we shed, since we can no longer hold
you in our arms but only in our hearts!
You earned those wings, dear sister,
and you will always be our angel eternal.
