SHINING RADIANCE

WHEN I WAS YOUNG, I HAD A FRIEND,
WE DIDN'T, HIT IT OFF, AT FIRST.
UNTIL WE BEGAN,
TO KNOW EACH OTHER,
OUR FRIENDSHIP,
WAS ONE, THAT WAS NURSED.
AS DAYS BEGAN,
TO TURN INTO WEEKS,
EACH OTHER,
WE BEGAN TO KNOW.
AFTER WORK, 
WE'D, HANG OUT TOGETHER,
THERE WAS NO PLACE,
WE DIDN'T GO.
WHERE THERE WAS ONE,
THERE WAS THE OTHER,
LIKE  SISTERS, WE BECAME,
EVEN THOUGH,
WE WEREN'T RELATED,
SISTERS, WE DID CLAIM.
MY LOVE FOR HER,
HAS NEVER DIED,
I STILL MISS HER,
TO THIS DAY.
ALTHOUGH, I LOST HER,
LONG AGO,
WITHIN MY HEART, SHE'LL STAY.
A PART OF HER, SHE LEFT ME,
HER PRECIOUS DAUGHTER,
FOR ME SHE GAVE,
TO WATCH OVER,
AND PROTECT HER,
AND TEACH HER, HOW TO BEHAVE.
I LOST HER,
FOR MANY YEARS,
LIKE HER MOTHER, WITHIN MY HEART,
SHE STAYED.
NOW, WE HAVE EACH OTHER AGAIN,
FROM ANSWERED PRAYERS,
THAT I HAD PRAYED.
I KNOW IN MY HEART,
SANDY, IS SMILING,
WITH LOTS, OF JOY, AND LOVE,
BECAUSE, I SEE HER RADIANCE,
SHINING DOWN, FROM UP ABOVE.
