Oh Sister, since our parting’s almost near
Please lend your ear, time has come.
We may not meet again, it’s what I fear,
So you decreed in bitter anguish, so unwise.
Not knowing it you’ve cut the ties of Love
That generations past have built in tireless strife.
So for the good I’ve ever done in life
I ask for your forgiveness, be so kind!

Oh Sister, haven’t seen and heard you much
Through all these years it has been so hard.
You stayed aloof, so hot, in hateful pride,
My son’s a grown up man you wouldn’t recognize.
You’ve never tried to bridge the gap you dug,
And left me gaping, wandering in the dark.
So for the good I’ve ever done in life
I ask for your forgiveness, be so kind!

You’ve never even once looked our way
Since choice I’ve made for only Goodness’ sake.
It’s all I’ll boast about what I've done if asked
In your good favor, on your own behalf.
It’s all on what I’ll take my pride, it's credit won,
Enough to face my God when I’m no more, I die.
So for the good I’ve ever done in life
I ask for your forgiveness, be so kind!
