A limb has fallen from Our Family Tree

I hear a voice that whispers, “Grieve not for me”

Remember the best times, the laughter, the songs

The good I lived while I was strong

Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you

Keep on smiling the sun will shine through

My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest

Remembering all…how I was truly blessed. 

Continue traditions, no matter how small

Go on with your lives, don’t stare at the wall

I miss you all dearly so keep up your chin

Until that fine day we’re together again.
