A homesick twin's prayer

Genevieve,
Beautiful daughter of God
Bless'ed before the Father.

How radient is your smile,
How bright your eyes shine.
I see your face when I close my eyes to sleep.

I look at your photograph
and see Jesus Christ at work in your heart.

Your laughter echoes in my mind,
pulling homesick tears from the corners of my eyes.

I approach the throne of God
with your name upon my lips...

May He bless you richly in the coming months and years.
May He never leave your side, dearest sister.

Beautiful daughter of God,
How my heart dances with joy
to call you my twin.
Sister in blood and sister in Christ.

If home is where the heart is then I'm out of place.
I've never been more homesick then now,
but as I kneel before the King
I ask for His blessing and strength
and know it won't be long
until I see you again.

In the mean time,
May He bless you and keep you safe from harm.
May He gather you to him when you weep for me.
For in Christ there are no goodbyes.
Be brave sister of mine...

Till I return to you once more.
