I looked deep within my sister’s eyes today
and reached inside her soul...
I pulled and tugged at nature’s way
and said, not far away...
I know within my being,
my sister’s eyes though glazed...
can sense the world around her
she’s not that far away...
She’s standing at the entrance
the precipice, the door...
she’s searching for the key of life
to step outside once more...
It shows upon her face today
she’s aching to be free
It’s time my sister, you can see
you’re not that far away...
And now to speak the words we need
to say you’re back again...
relate the journey you’ve been on
with purpose and belief...
you’re not away,
but here to stay
as we rejoice the day...
