To Etta Gilmer
Into our little Circle here
Has come an empty chair
We know you've won a grand reward
And climbed the "Golden Stairs"
We see you as you enter there
With a smile upon your face
As friends and loved ones gather 'round
And greet you with a big embrace
It won't be long before we too
Will enter that land of love
What a big reunion that will be
In the Great Grand Circle up above.
