And as my years went passing by 
                             and needs we not then met, 
                          Our God heard my prayer and sigh 
                              for the sister lacked I yet. 

                            For, in His wisdom, from above, 
                            great blessings did He bestow 
                                In giving you to me, 
                             as my happy tears did flow. 

                         And, as we travel down life's pathway 
                          through joy, sorrow, and laughter - 
                             We're side by side, each day 
                                  and ever after. 

                            The miles may keep us apart, 
                                 from time to time. 
                                No matter, for we are 
                              SISTERS OF THE HEART!
