To the children of God, the Lord does instill
In their hearts many different traits
To some He gives honor or pride or health
To others He gives courage or wealth

But to a fortunate few, whom He has chosen to be
His special couriers of love
He awards all the virtues that man can conceive
And to these adds the virtue of love.

Not the love of a maiden for the knight of her dreams
Nor the love of a mother for her child
But rather to me, the Lord it does seem
Makes all of these traits into one

A love that embraces all of the world
And the many creatures of God
The love of man for his fellow man
The love of God for His Son

My sister was one of these messengers of love
Sent down from the heavens above
To bring the tidings of joy to all of the world
And to all the messenger of love

Her mission accomplished, the Lord He did then
Recall her to heaven up there
To sit at His feet at the base of His throne
And give her His love and His care

Yes the Lord needed someone to lighten the way
For the good souls to follow, He reaps every day
A light that is bright and will glisten and shine
To guide all the strays to this kingdom of thine

Where the weary can rest and the troubled find peace
Where all pain and sorrow and misery cease
The brightest beacon I know on this pathway of thine
Is the light shining brightly from this sister of mine

Marsha Jean to the world, was the essence of love
All things most tender in time
The most wonderful sister a man ever had
This little kid sister of mine

In memory of my sister Marsha
She was loved dearly
