Sleep My Sister I wish you sweet sleep, my sister dear. Although there's so much that you've left bare I hate that you had to endure such pain On my mind, your saddened eyes have left a stain. I want to know what crossed your mind Unspoken words you've left behind Undone things we'll never do No sharing thoughts you never knew. A peace has fallen upon your head A taste of sorrow we have been fed It really is like a hole in our lives One swiftly dug but carved out by knives. But I have hope that those sleeping will rise The Bible says that God will open their eyes. No suffering, sickness, yes not even pain, Those who did good, eternal life they'll gain. So... sleep on my sister, sleep tight For now with you the sky is night. But after night will come daybreak Therefore I will wait hoping to see you awake.
