For my Sister Helen I love and miss you so much
I find it so very hard to believe, That you have gone and I must grieve;
Everything seems so strange and surreal, I ask everyday is it a dream or real?
I miss all the little ways you showed you cared, For there were so many good moments we shared;
Looking back on my life’s assorted scenes, I realized you taught me what love truly means;
You were my trusted confidante and best friend, On whose loving support I could always depend.
I look at your smiling face in all my photos; Memories flood my mind as I touch the mementos
From the happy times you and I have had, But now these bring tears and make me sad;
Although I cry and call your name, I know things will never be the same;
I miss you so very much my sister dear, And your caring words I long to hear;
My heart’s only solace is one day I will see you as before, Beckoning me to come join you on that white distant shore
