My Darling Sister Agatha

Not a day passed when we didn't speak... we shared everything. Our love, our family, our pain and our joys.

I miss you my darling sister.
You were not only my sister but my best friend.
I never thought our lives together would ever end
but now you have gone I miss you so.
I shed silent tears, my tears just flow.
You and I have been through thick and thin
but in the end we both will win.
When you were suffering I felt your pain.
You confided in me over and over again
how you wanted this suffering and pain to end
and finally it’s over to Heaven you’ve been sent.
You will always be my sister and my best friend.
My love for you my darling, my love will never end.
Your suffering and pain, at my heart it tore
but one day my dearest we’ll be together once more,
I pray to God in the Heavens above
to bestow on you His eternal love.
So when you see a new star in the sky to shine
You’ll know that it is that beautiful sister of mine.

For Agatha

My darling sister, my best friend
our love for each other will never end.
If we could turn back the hands of time
we could do so much more when we were in our prime.
We had so much fun and never were sad,
some people would say that we were quite mad.
We laughed and were always on our way
and never cared what people might say.
The toilet rolls which rolled down the street
we were so busy and so were our feet.
The sister we teased day after day,
we were pests but would not go away.
Bingo and the Casino were our favourite thing
we were always happy with our little fling.
I hope one day when we are gone
that we still have fun together but not alone.
You’ll be my sister and my best friend forever and ever
our love for each other will never sever.
So my darling sister, I will be there
we’ll always be together everywhere.

My Sister, My Friend.

My sister, my friend, you always cared,

everything you had, you always shared,

you looked after me, since I was small,

I was so little, to me you looked so tall.

We went through a wartime, you kept me from harm,

you never lost your cool, you kept your charm,

you knew I was frightened,of any bad storm,

if I was shivering from the cold, you kept me warm.

When we grew up, we moved to a land far away,

but we never parted, we did not stray.

Then we got married, we drifted apart,

we both made changes, we made a new start,

we never lost contact, we wrote to each other,

then we lost dad, a year later our mother.

I had moved back to where you are now,

I will never forsake you, and that is my vow.

Now we are old, and gone quite grey,

but you are still my best friend.  I'll always say,

whoever goes first to our father, up above,

the other will be waiting, with all  their love,

we will be together again, you, me, mum and dad,

so please my dear friend, my loving sister, please don't be sad.
