The
Day My Sister Went Away
The
day my sister went away,
Nobody knew what to say,
To put her in her grave was bad enough,
But to bury her twice was very tough.
I felt all alone, empty inside,
All I did was sit and cried.
How did you boys and girls cope?
I felt I was going down a slope.
But Pity II has given us this page,
We’re all strangers at this stage.
Our mums and dads have made a chair,
Let’s use this page to do the same.
We can support one another,
We can talk about our sisters and brothers.
Thank you Pity II,
I love you.
