My dear sister
How I miss you so much
Your sweet essence
Would always touch my heart
Your hugs of love
What a wonder of feeling it
Hearing your beautiful laugh
Was your signature autograph
Endlessly makes everything
Look like a still photograph
The kindness of your words
Was like hearing the songbirds
Your smile
Lasted a roman mile
Life without you
Is a Lilly without a nile
