A limb has fallen from the
family tree.
I keep hearing a voice that
says, “Grieve not for me”.
Remember the best times,
the laughter, the song
The good life I lived while
I was strong.
Continue my heritage,
I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remember all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls.
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin
Until the day comes we’re together again.
