 Penniluck's legacy

Always Near


To my darling sister June on her 76th birthday which she shares with her twin Ann who is in on heaven. Today the 28/7/16 Happy birthday to you both love always hugs Penni and Star xxx


I wasn`t around when you came home
But June you did not come alone
For with you was your darling twin
Wrapped in cotton wool... a sin

She was weak but you were strong
You looked after her so long
Now an angel she can do
All the things that will help you

I know you miss her every day
And in every kind of way
We all do but we know she`s fine
That lovely sister yours and mine

But today you reach an age
Together you will turn the page
Seventy-six, cannot conceive
Time has flown, hard to believe

Know you`ve had a tough time June
But you will be better soon
Ann is looking down on you
Telling you just what to do

Wish we could go back in time
All together yours and mine
But we can`t so carry on
Remember sis, God made you strong

Have a happy day today
I know it`s hard, but try to play
Light the candles on a cake
That hopefully someone will bake

Know although I live up here
Just like Ann I`m always near
My hugs come flying through the air
Catch them now sis if you dare.
