Into your hands, O Lordwe humbly entrust our sister TerriIn this life you embraced her with your tender love;
deliver her now from every evil
and bid her enter eternal rest.The old order has passed away:
welcome her then into paradise,
where there will be no sorrow, no weeping nor pain,
but the fullness of peace and joy
with your Son and the Holy Spiritfor ever and ever.Amen.
For TERRI and my GRANDMA...
ALL I FEEL, AND HOW I CRY..
I fall to my knees, and I wail
Why? Dear god oh why?
She fell, her big sin, she fell. She collapsed, she fell
All the life, all the love, all of it gone. Forgotten
she is not what she once was
she is not as useful to us
her sin, again, she fell
She is not perfect.. she is not the way we would have her
. She is soooo inconvenient..
So she is what
gone.. why keep her here.. why bother
why not take her where she is loved, for we dont
we see the imperfect
we see the trouble to take care of her
. I wail because I want her.. I want her here where I can love her.. I can care for her.. but no- you take her.. but why
Because we did not cherish her. You will wont you
We are this could we are this callous.. her life. Not what we would want.. not what we would have. Not what we want to nurture..
But you will wont you
you will feed her.. you will love her
We failed her
We failed
and so we lose her
