I called you last September
and I told you that I missed ya
Then you came down to visit me
because you are my sistah
There were a lot of sights along the drive
but you didn’t look
Your husband drove ten hours plus
while you read a book
We had our morning coffee
and put on our walking shoes
Then I took you to the places where
I walk away the blues
We laughed and talked along the way
as sisters often do
We didn’t focus on our pace
just burned a calorie or two
Now often when I walk this path
I would swear you’re here with me
I hear your laughter through the trees
And echoes of our dreams
The sunlight dances ‘cross the path
As shadows play their games
And little birds sing merrily
the music of your name
