Silence is golden yet not anymore silence brings thoughts I just can't ignore.
The nights are sleepless, dreams out to reach. Crying in my pillow to you i beseech.
Surrounded by family, I still feel alone. My heart is so empty, this pain I must own.
I wish I could hug you and just see your face. But now I have memories to stand in your place.
Gone but not forgotten, that's what they say. Of course that is true but if only you could of stayed.
Love you sister Alma,
