Mother’s home from hospital and hasn’t said a word And all of them are whispering but still I overheard How will they ever tell me and just how will I react? I’m not old enough to understand a very simple fact That death can come to anyone on any night or day That nothing is forever and we all must pass away That some will have a century and some will have an hour And to right this great injustice is beyond our human power I’ll never know you, sister, and I’ll never hear you cry I’ll never take you walking and you’ll never ask me why We’ll never share a secret or a pleasure or a pain Or go playing when it’s sunny or sit in and watch the rain And I won’t be a big sister or an auntie or a friend For a little sis to turn to when some love affair will end And we won’t grow old together and we’ll never have a fight About how to bring up children or which politician’s right And for ever more I’ll wonder what you might have been to me The adventures that we might have had that never now can be But I always will be grateful for what I have learned from you, How to treasure every moment, try to live enough for two. |
