My Big Sister

Love and Miss You, Sis

Your voice is all around me 

Whispering in my ear 

Sometimes sounding closer 

Than those that are still here. 

Remember all the things we did 

All the fun we shared, 

We laughed and cried and talked for hours 

And said how much we cared. 

But then one day you were gone 

And left me with my tears 

My world was tilted on it's side 

Packed with deepest fears.

When I needed you the most 

And things got so, so tough 

I screamed out loud and felt so lost 

Then life got REALLY rough. 

I knew you had the answers 

That no one else could give 

And wondered in my deep despair 

Why God couldn't let you live 

Just a little longer 

You really were too young 

To leave this world behind you 

So many songs unsung. 

But time kept moving on,

And taking me with it.

My hurts began to lesson 

Just a little bit. 

My memories got clearer 

And realization stung 

In only thinking of myself 

How selfish I'd become. 

You were suffering so greatly 

In sickness and in pain 

There was nothing else that could be done, 

Nothing else to gain. 

Your life had become unbearable, 

You desperately needed rest. 

God brought you home to give you peace, 

He really knows what's best. 

I'm older now and wiser (I hope)

And realize while I live 

Jesus gives the answers 

That only He can give. 

Your voice still whispers to me 

Of the happiness you've found 

And to enjoy my loved ones 

Every precious second I'm around.
