    Ah! I had such a good childhood being next to you But life does not always have to be this way You had a road to choose my sister And I also had my own reason to stay But I miss you for not being here I miss you more each day my dear And I promise that we shall meet soon I love you my pretty sis!

    It seems time heals all the sorrow And life does not always remain the same But it’s not the case with me Coz I still cry hearing your name I still miss your loving and caring ways I still miss your concern for me I still miss you my lovely sister And I mean every word to see!
