When You Sing No More

I hear in the distance your laughter

As I walk closer it disappears 

Then the air is filled with singing 

Your melodious soothing words ease the painful past 

I find solace in the words that turns my mind back to those childhood days

I sigh

But I cry

For its just a memory of that beautiful past

I search the rooms you're not there 

Your work place is empty 

Your table is empty

Your chair is empty

But the song I hear is the song you sang

Because he lives I can face tomorrow 

Because he lives all fear is gone

Because I know he holds the future 

Those lines so crystal clear in my mind

But you're not hear to sing that song

For you have crossed the sea to a land of milk and honey

I try so hard to find your ship but the darkness embraces it

All I hold is your memory my dear baby sister

It's our sister's birthday today 24th February 

You're not here to sing happy birthday to her

We miss you so much and long for that sweet voice 

To just sing that song one more time 

But the grave has silenced your voice 

My heart throbs with pain
