1 Entry

A limb has fallen from the family tree.
She is saying, Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life she lived while she was strong.
Continue her heritage, she counting on ya.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
Her mind is at ease, her soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how truly she was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with ya life, don't worry about falls
She will miss ya all dearly, so keep up ya chin.
Until the day comes when ya are together again in heaven. My deepest symphony
