Broken Chain
We little knew that morning that God was going to call you home. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; For part of us went with you The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories,  Your love is still our guide; And though we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us home one by one.
The chain will link again.

A sister is God's way of making sure, we never walk alone.
