We are three

How many children are you?

We are three.

I mean, how many after your loss?

We’ll always be three.

Are you counting your sister, then?

Yes, she is part of our family tree?

But, this is not how we count

In counting, you are free.

My sister is always with us

Don't judge by what your eyes see

If you lost a sister you’ll understand

My Dear sister is always with me.

Sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you…

You need to include her, I fully agree.
