At Last And Once Again

At last and once again,
the healing and pain begin.
I knew that you would leave,
leave me here to grieve.

Strange, to ache and rejoice.
We never had a choice.
Loving you, watching you go,
is harder than you know.

I weep both pain and peace,
that you have found release.
The sister you have been,
beyond the bonds of kin.

At last, brave faces fall,
my fear faced after all.
At last and once again,
An angel is my friend.

Rest in peace, Michelle.. knowing how much I miss you.
