My sister, is my best friend,
she always makes my heart sing.

Thinking about her brings a smile to my face,
she is a gift from God and full of grace.

Her life isn't easy in that far away land,
I ask our God to always keep her in his hands.

She has seen so much evil in her young life,
her world is full of suffering and strife.

Her love for the Lord may one day cost her, her life,
she won't leave her people even if she has to pay the price.

When I'm feeling down and want to give up,
I just think of her and the Lord fills my cup.

My world has new meaning now that Lieta is in it,
and each day brings it all together bit by bit.

I've only have a picture of this sister of mine,
but how the love in her eyes does shine.

If I could I would bring here and keep her safe,
She would never be happy thinking of her family far away.

All I can do is pray and send her lots of love,
and always keep her lifted up to the Lord above.

I know he has something special for us in mind,
or he wouldn't have brought us together at this time.

So I thank the Lord above,
for giving me this sister to love.
