An Elegy to my Beloved Sister & Friend

 

In the hush of twilight's gentle sway,

Where memories linger and hearts do pray,

We gather now with heavy sighs,

To bid farewell, to say goodbye.

 

Oh, Sr. Maureen, in your grace so rare,

Your spirit's light beyond compare,

In each tender word and loving glance,

You wove a tapestry of hope, of chance.

 

Through whispered hymns and quiet tears,

Your presence soothed our deepest fears,

Guiding us with steadfast hand,

To walk with courage, to understand.

 

Your laughter, a melody, pure and true,

In every moment, your kindness grew,

Like a beacon in the darkest night,

Your love, a constant, shining bright.

 

But now the time has come to part,

To hold your memory close, dear heart,

Though tears may fall like gentle rain,

Your legacy forever shall remain.

 

In the quiet echoes of our souls,

Your spirit dances, forever whole,

And though you've journeyed beyond our sight,

Your love abides in endless light.

 

So, rest now, dear friend, in peace serene,

In fields of gold, in realms unseen,

We'll cherish every moment shared,

Until we meet again, beyond compare.
