My Beloved Sister

Today, while I sit in my rocking chair to rest..
Reminiscing the time that I loved the best,
In my vision I can once more see,
My precious beloved sister and me...

The house is still there - no noise anymore,
No one to pick on, no wrestling on the floor,
No heavy footsteps, no laughter or glee,
My beloved sister's voice no longer calling me...

The time of happiness that only our family knows, Before the impending moment that maturity grows.
I am just reminiscing - She has gone to the Lord now.
Since then - my dark hair has turned gray above the brow.

Many years of our life were spent apart, My sister to a new nest did part...
Something went amiss one sad day..
When my beloved sister left to go far away...

I may have some pleasures and leisure from care,
But willingly, some of my possessions I'd gladly share...

If only my beloved sister I could hold near,
For one cherishing moment of that long ago year....

Happy Birthday Sharon... I Love You .. I Miss You
