She Was My Sister My Once Valiant Hero

She was my sister, so pretty so strong She made me feel as though I belonged She sang to me of angels and god She came to me whenever I called But then one day an evil overtook My loving sister I found as she shook I found her one day on her bedroom floor A bottle of pills and needles unsure With tears in her eyes she told me one thing That I was her hero She asked me to sing The song that I sung was of angels and god But this one last time it was me that she called And with one last hard breath She breathed no more And she died right there on her bed room floor I started to scream I stood just to fall My mother came running and was shocked at what she saw She picked up the phone and called 911 With tears in her eyes she told what she saw Only minutes later we heard the sirens near The doctors rushed in announced she was dead And silently took my hero to her bed My sister the angel still helps me along She sings to me of angels and god And she answers me now whenever I call She was my sister my once valiant hero She is my sister, who’s now with god.
