“Family Tree”

A limb has fallen from the family tree

I hear a voice that whispers, “ Grieve not me’

Remember the best times, the laughetr the songs

The good I lived while Iwas 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.
