She was always up early before sunrise <br />Prepared her teaching kit and some provision <br />To catch an early ride is a prize <br />And to be with her students was her great mission <br /> <br />Happily she gave all her earnings to our mother <br />She have to save enough, no parties, no boyfriend <br />Oh, she loves us very much, she was a dear <br />She is a sister, a loving daughter, she is a friend <br /> <br />She loves to dance and sing at her heart's content <br />Even in the wee hours, we're on top of the world <br /> I missed her every now and then <br />And my love for her that was never told <br /> <br />To a far away place she went <br />Life then was not easy to keep afloat each day <br />And so all her earnings she sent <br />And saved enough for rainy day. <br /> <br />Her loving arms always gives me the strength <br />Whenever i have struggle and pain <br />To be down on my knees and at length <br />And take up the Cross, be yourself again <br /> <br /> <br />I cannot hold her hands and hug her forever <br />God had taken her to her permanent home in heaven <br />But her beautiful memories will always linger <br />In my mind.. in my heart, she was a heaven sent <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />My special tribute to my sister Lyn <br />Note: <br /> born on April 17,1945 <br /> died: Oct.2,2004 <br /> She died of cervical cancer<br /><br />Meggie Gultiano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/remembering-you-for-my-sister/
