My Sister Lives Too Far Away


My sister lives too far away,

It’s difficult to see her, no way.

I remember our sisterhood,

Which is sweet and good.

.

So close together, a decade ago,

She was the one who knows me the best.

She is so loving, I know,

I miss her so much, hard to have a rest.

.

She helped me see things I would not see myself,

She offered me support that touched my heart.

I pray a beautiful life to herself,

This love for her will last despite the fact that we are apart.

    Now I missed my only sister…and thank goodness I just had a great time with her last week when we have had a reunion and visited my father’s tomb, 13 years after he met a fatal accident.

    Thanks for sharing this beautiful photo, even my sister lives too far away from…or rather I am the one who lives farthest from the rest of my siblings so I have to travel so much just to be with them!
