Can't believe no more letters to come
Now sweet sis, God's taken you home
Your words brought me laughter and love
Your new address is heaven above
Your bright smile you never could hide
Calling you sister gave me such pride.
All your letters I still have today
They are my treasure now you're away.
Wonderful pages that made you, YOU!
Reading them now I can never be blue.
The loss of your joy is the angels gain.
Love you Pen Pal sister, till we meet again.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
