Reflections
from the Past
<<<+>>>
My dear
sister...
The only
one I had...
Had to
leave that day...
And it
sure left me sad...
<<<+>>>
The memories
I hold of her...
Are so
sweet to me..
She and
I had quite a time...
When we
talked with glee...
<<<+>>>
Made the
trip to CA..
Every year,
it seemed...
To see
her only sister...
It sure
made her beam....
<<<+>>>
We went
to Agate beach...
On a picnic
too....
Then out
to eat, Chinese...
Chow-mein,
and not that foo..
<<<+>>>
She always
looked forward...
To the
trip all year...
Waiting
for the summer...
To hurry
and get here..
<<<+>>>
She would
call or write to me..
All excited
in the Spring...
Talking
of the coming trip..
And sometimes
she would sing...
<<<+>>>
I miss
her joyful face...
And her
childlike glee...
When she
called and talked...
Of coming
to see me!
My dear sister died on Christmas
morning 1988
She would come to see me in
California just about
every year. She always looked
forward to visiting
with my family. They would save
all year to make
the trip. Those times are so
precious to me.
Thanks Lillian, for being my sister.
