I cared for you my sister
As though you were mine
I made all your bottles
On which you did dine

I cared for you my sister
I taught you all your words
Later we would go outside
And serenade all the birds

I cared for you my sister
Got you off to school each day
And after school was over
In the yard, we would play

I cared for you my sister
I watched you as you grew
Now I wander where the time went
As the years by us flew

I cared for you my sister
When you became a wife
You were just a child yourself
It cut me life a knife

I cared for you my sister
When your marriage went awry
I held you in my arms
As your heart began to cry

I cared for you my sister
Down through all the years
Through all you trials and trouble
Through worries and your fears

I cared for you my sister
When cancer came your way
I marveled at your bravery
With your head held high that day

I'll care for you my sister
It's really not a task
It's just the love I have for you
You never have to ask

So take my hand, dear sister
Life won't get us down
For we have the secret
God's love is what we found.

Just so no one misunderstands, my sister Carolyn is very much alive right now and is in excellent health. The doctors believe that they have gotten rid of all the cancer, they are just using precautions and giving her treatments.
