Sweet sister of mine



I miss your voice, I miss your face, I miss the way you laugh, I miss the way you're beautiful brown eyes shine, I guess what I'm trying to say is I miss you deeply sweet sister of mine. I wasn't ready for you to leave, but like a thief in the night God taking away from me, he sent his angel down to tell you it was time. Now I sit here alone with an emptiness no words could ever define. They say this pain takes time to heal, but how would they know because they don't feel the way I feel, Tonight before God I will bow my head as I kneel thanking him for the time I had with you and thank him for you not having to suffer no more, and let him know I would give to him  my next dying breath just to see your beautiful face so I could tell you I love you once more. I will find you always when I look up at night because you will be the brightest star in the sky I will find peace each time I see you shine I love you and I miss you sweet sister of mine
