Of all life's treasures I could choose,
The one I cherish best,
Is that of Sister ties and love,
It towers above the rest.

We always tried to keep in touch,
Though living far apart.
I always knew my Sis was there,
With warm and caring heart.

Now we are each up in our prime,
Our hair is turning gray.
With family raised, a change of pace,
We reminisce today.

Our lives have changed throughout the years,
We're getting old, they say.
My many friends have come and gone,
But Sis is here to stay.

Through the eyes of a child,.
...From the moment of birth.
There's no reason for war,....
All are equal on earth....
Through the eyes of a child,..
All the world is so pure..
No more hatred or crime,.....
Life is safe and secure...
Through the eyes of a child,..
.Never famine or greed.
An abundance for all,...........
..Of the things that we need.
Through the eyes of a child,.
Only patience and love...
Be there caring and trust,.....
With a faith from Above.
