Becky, you were tired, I saw it in your face.
The end was coming at a fast pace.
But, how I wanted you to stay...
In time, I came to understand,
your will was not my command.
Life just became too hard for you.
I didn't want to see.....but I knew..
You had to be where you could fly.
Becky my sister and friend, it's so hard to say good-bye.
You were part of my life for all those years,
I'll miss you and cry my tears.
But I also know, that's okay..
for we'll be together again some day.
Becky, I miss you so much!
Nana Serwaa
