I did not know how much it meant
To me to have you near;
I never knew how much I counted
On your word of cheer.
Each object that mine eyes rest on
Brings me some thought of you;
Each memory of my childhood days
Brings back your childhood too.
There were we four; I never dreamed
But it would always be
We four and Mom, and Dad-you said,
"Three girls, and brothers, three."
And now there are but five of us
In mortal body still,
But Somewhere in this universe
You live and laugh at will.
While yet I marvel that this world
should try to still move on-
I see a bigger, brighter World-
The Place where you have gone.
And know that you are living in
Your same old, happy way,
With bigger work, just waiting
For our Great Reunion Day.
