My Precious Sister 1992 - 1994
The year was 1994 and it is now 2005
Time has passed and continues to pass!
I can still see her lying in the hospital
I can still see her sweet face
Even though it was drained from the pain
And of course the tears she cried!
I can still see the drips through her nose
I can still see the anguish in her eyes
I can still see the beating of her heart as it races with sadness and regret!
I can still hear the doctors talking though I don’t know what they are saying
Talk, Talk, Talk that’s all I hear
Yes, my precious sister is still fresh in my mind.
Jade, precious is what you are
You are never far away from my heart
I keep you close, ever so close
You are my precious sister and I love you!
My eyes are filled with green, showing my envy
My heart is filled with black, showing my lament
Why lament?
A state, which we should envy?
Yes because precious you were and precious you are
My precious sister!
In my heart and mind you are
Day in and day out!
I long to talk to you and
Tell you that I love you and
Tell you that you are my precious sister
Jade!
