WRITTEN FOR DOT: MOST WONDERFUL SISTER IN THE WORLD
THERE
OUGHT TO BE A SPECIAL DAY
THAT WE COULD RECOGNIZE,
ALL THE SISTERS OF THE WORLD
AND SEE THEM THROUGH MY EYES.
THERE'S NO ONE ELSE THAT LOVES THE WAY
MY SISTER LOVES ME EVERY DAY,
SHE'S ALWAYS THERE, ALWAYS IN PRAYER
AND JUST A CALL AWAY.
SOME HOW SHE ALWAYS SEEMS TO KNOW
WHEN I'M DOWN AND FIND IT HARD TO PRAY,
WHEN I'M WEAK IN BODY AND MY SPIRIT IS LOW
SHE'LL CALL TO SAY." HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
SHE NEVER THINKS ABOUT HERSELF
SHE'S ALWAYS THINKING OF OTHERS,
ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING FOR ME
OR SOMETHING FOR MY OLDER BROTHER.
SHE IS SUCH A GODLY WOMAN
AND SHE REALLY LOVES TO PRAY,
AND YOU CAN SEE THE LOVE OF GOD
IN HER WALK AS SHE WALKS EACH DAY.
I JUST WISH THERE WERE SOMETHING
THAT I COULD DO OR SAY,
TO LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH I CARE
EACH AND EVERY PASSING DAY.
BUT I KNOW I CAN DO ONE THING
FOR HER EVERY SINGLE DAY,
ASK GOD TO PROTECT HER
AND GET ON MY KNEES AND PRAY.
I KNOW THAT WHEN I GO TO HEAVEN
SHE WILL GRIEVE FOR ME,
BUT THEM SHE WILL SOON REMEMBER
WHERE HER BABY SISTER WILL BE.
