Again

I held you in my arms
it seems a lifetime ago
Such a proud big sister I was
planning to teach you all I know

Different paths we chose to take
as those years flew by
Still though, we love one another
Even when we'd make the other cry

So many things I wanted to say
I had thought we had the time
But I was wrong my little sister
Your time ran out, with no real reason why

It was supposed to be all right you know
Like always
But now you've gone away
why couldn't you have stayed?

Your time here was not enough
too soon you were taken
Now I sit here alone as I write
all the while my heart is breaking

I love you baby sister
What more can I really say?
Except I know you love me
and your in my thoughts each day

Your in the Divine's embrace now
where you'll never fade away
The special rose that finally blossomed
the night you passed away

Keep my place up there for me
there's still reason for me to stay
While I sort through this pain, keep my spot warm sissy
Until I see you again.

The Call

I called your phone
but no one is home
I guess you've gone away

I just leave a message
at the tone
To say I'm sorry
and I wish you had stayed

I called your phone
but you'll never answer again
This is a courtesy call of a sister's grief
I'll just leave my message
at the beep

I Love you, I miss you
always know
I wish I could have told you so
I'll just hang up the phone.
