Trying to say goodbye to a sister
A mother, a daughter, a wife
Don't know how this could ever get easier
Don't know how to go on with this life
 

The pain is so strong it eclipses all else
There are no other thoughts to be found
Want to turn back the clock and do something to save her
Can't believe she's no longer around
 

There have to be ways to find comfort
All the well-meaning words give no ease
Try to think that she's happy and healthy in Heaven
Try to think of it as a release
 

There's really no purpose in wondering why
God has His reasons that we here can't know
No doubt people have wondered for eons
Why some of us stay and some of us go
 

One day, with God's Grace, we will see her again
This woman who we dearly treasured
A hole in the family that we all belong to
How sadly this year will be measured
