Yo...YOLANDE
You are in the tobacco sheds of Grand Pointe
You are on the harvest wagons in the sugar cane fields
You are the legacy of each child who grew up there,
And a loving friend to everyone everywhere.
Your life was one of gentle goodness,
the kind journeys on the Grand Pointe Road,
Never conscious of your very own load.
leaving all of us to yearn
For Your slow steady pace
and your kind. loving face;
Yours was a life of fullness.
Yo, Yolande,
You are the legacy of Grand Pointe;
You were there to see each little child grow;
You reaped many a sugar cane harvest;
And worked, oh, so hard.
The years have come and gone; none the less'
Now it's time to reap the grandest one; we all know,
The Grand Harvest of Our Lord;
You will have a place in our hearts
as always,
As you go on to your Heavenly Stay.
Yo...Yolande!
You are Loved on this,
your heavenly day.
Sadly missed by The Martin Twins

I HAD TO GO AWAY
by
Kimberly Ann Kerek
Sorrento, La.
I had to go away.
I'm sorry you couldn't come with me.
But on earth is where you shall stay.
Please do not be sad.
Instead laugh and be glad.
I'm in a beautiful place, such a beautiful place.
I know you won’t see me for a while.
But you will hear from me.
I will be the wind that will chill you on a hot summer day.
I will be the sun that will warm you when it's cold.
Listen to the birds sing, I will be saying "I love you" in their song.
I know you can't touch me.
But you will feel me.
Because I will be inside of you giving you life on the days you feel like you can't go on anymore.
Please I beg of you, go on, live your life as I lived mine.
Always remember we will be together again.
I will be patiently waiting for you on that day.
When you will join me in this beautiful place.
Until then may God bless you with his almighty grace.
