"sisters and Brothers"

Sisters and brothers that leave us too soon..
Leave us empty and sad with our eyes to the moon...
So many words we meant to say, 
one last hug that got away..
Daydreaming of childhood when life was simple I recall..
Playing games and teasing and watching you play ball..
When we look to the sky for the answer why, 
I know you're still in my heart where your spirit will reside..
Cry for today and be sad for a time, 
but I know in my heart you would want me to get by...
Holidays that won't be the same, 
cool fall afternoons with you not in the game..
Till the day comes again when we are all at the table..
We will resume our lives, and because of you I know we are able..
