HOPE.
Once when the golden bowl of hope lay broken on the ground, We wept with bitter- flowing tears. Yet afterwards we found that faith could reassemble it. And love could make it glow with such a light that one who saw the bowl would never know. But looking on its loveliness and whispering a prayer, would feel his own hope surge and sing. Immeasurably fair. Aunt Hilda you're the butter cup in that golden bowl. We will miss you! Cousins....there is HOPE.
