I never saw her cry
I always thought she was too strong to lose hope
She never asked for help or allowed the offer of a hand
She smiled always and had never a hard word to say
So I never knew you see that the world she saw was so dark
So without colour or warmth
Did I miss the signs?
Was I to involved in my own small life to notice hers had stopped turning
There must have been a point a phone call an unexpected visit
where I saw that she was reaching for me But I never saw

And now she's gone

I miss her smile and wise words I wish she had let me know she was so sad
I am sorry I was not there for you my Sister and I hope the next turning brings you more joy
Till the wheel turns and we again join in the Circle

May The Lady hold you gently and bring you solace
