                                I've tried, oh, 
                                so hard 
                                to make it work 
                                But you walked away 
                                By just some quirk 
                                 
                                You say, you feel nothing 
                                But I see sadness in your eyes 
                                You stay away for years 
                                For you, my heart just cries 
                                  
                                I love you, my dear family 
                                I always have and always will 
                                I hurt so for you inside 
                                I have to tell my heart, "Be still." 
                                 
                                I need to *let go and let God* 
                                I feel such a loss, not seeing you 
                                I alone cannot fix it 
                                My life is so empty and blue 
                                  
                                I long to have you in my life again 
                                Please, can't we try once more 
                                Won't you please reconsider 
                                Before you shut that final door 
                                 
                                Life is just way too short 
                                God meant for us to love one another 
                                There's not much more precious 
                                Than the love of a sister and a brother 
                                  
                                If you would only talk to me 
                                And tell me what you feel 
                                If we could communicate and hug 
                                It would help our relationship to heal 
                                 
                                Won't you please reconsider 
                                Before it's way too late 
                                We are getting on in years 
                                And reconciliation shouldn't wait 
                                  
                                God meant for us to be there 
                                And always love one another 
                                I can honestly say 
                                I love you, my sisters and brothers 
                                 
                                Each day I give thanks 
                                For each and every one of you 
                                I pray that God will heal all 
                                For now that is all I can do
