What My Sister Told Me After Going To Heaven
There are no words to describe,
the pain you feel inside,
when you are told,
your little sister died.
I got the call while at work,
my sister told me through tears,
her pain coming from a place so guttural,
she screamed it to me "Angie is dead."

she screamed "Angie is dead!"
there was something in the

My Sweet Sister
My sweet sister
Calling from above
I am on my way

All 18 months
Till Death does do
I will always love you
Can I pray

Sister Death
Look at me, Sister Death.
Raise your gaze

Wade on through your youth
There is no need, Sister Death
Cut the rope
Untie the noose
It is no use, Sister Death
To rush the day
To lasso the sun
to try to drag it
