Where's My Sister

Where’s my sister gone? The holiday season all wrapped up A tarnished blanket of snow remains Flipping the page into the New Year Filling our thoughts with hope and cheer A ringing phone, a joyful hello paused Crying and sobbing, collapsing to her knees Your sister, Connie’s been in a wreck Somehow our big old blue station wagon found the way leaving a blurry trail of street lights Our hearts pounding, eyes filled with tears, pacing and praying Waiting and waiting the doctor finally came in Leading my parents away to see their little girl Her boyfriend walked in, not even a scratch. How can that be? She’s fighting for her life and he doesn’t even look like he’s been in the car She flew through the windshield. He was pinned in his seat. That New Years Eve forever changed our paths My sisters gone, their daughter too, a jumbled family not sure what to do Her body remains intact and functioning too But her mind, she’ll never be the same; you know who. I’ll never get my sister back. A broken family, a missing link Has made us appreciate each other every day.
