Greenness

There is green outside the glass

Of my window.

There is peace beyond the veil

Of myself.

Why don't I break the glass?

Why don't I tear the veil?

Why don't I step outside 

To where He's standing 

With a sword and a shield?

Why don't I begin?

My sister

... are there words to describe her?

She is... my sister

She is always there.  Always with an open heart.  Wanting to grow with me.  Showing her love through simple actions.

Working together during this burdensome time has been beautiful to me.  My lovely sister has been... my sister.  In the truest form.  

How can that simple word be so beautiful to me?

Because Jesus placed us in this place.  He is intertwining our hearts.

Every day... in every meal that we prepare...

In ways I never imagined. 

I love you Emma.
