I had a friend and sister; her name I won't disclose;
let me tell you, mister, she was heaven's rose.
Like me she was a Christian; like me she was a poet;
we had a similar mission: use poetry to show it.
We would write of our God, so to make Him known;
to show the world we must laud; the Son the Father's shown.
We would read what each had wrote, and so we grew much more;
the new insight we each would note, a joy and not a chore.
Then it came, my darkest day, we learned she was dying;
in human ways I would pray; all my prayers a "Why?" thing.

I knew inside she found her Rest, what her soul would see.
In broken joy I thanked Him; praised Him for my part;
thanked Him she was free from sin; that I got to know her heart.
Then I saw Who was the Poet and who the composition;
by the Spirit, this, I know it; she was His little mission.
She was written by His Word, both the written and the living;
in the room I thought I heard, "Through her I was giving."
