Dear Sis,
tonight I light a candle
your life I love and miss
sometimes I can't handle
The reality that you're not here
here, yes, but not so much
I wish to hear you full of cheer
to shop, do our nails and such
Remember on the bus that day?
we sang real loud to the driver
I still hear your voice that way
loud like mine only then, liver
Remember how I took those beatings for you?
I'd take 10,000 more for another hug
beating done you'd comfort me, a love true
those tender arms that held me snug
The older I get, faint grows your voice
sis, I don't want to forget you ever
that you're gone and I'm here is life's choice
I will hold on, letting you go... never
So I light this candle in your honor
every month remembering the seven years
of love, of presence, for just one hour
Maybe this time, I'll even shed some tears
Cleanse the lost till I find you near
I light this fire to make the world aware
children like you have the right not to fear
for their life when in danger or lack of care
Winds, carry this message as a kiss
may you rest in peace eternally
You were a light in this world, sis
now I can shine my light brightly
