We Shall Meet Again

We shall meet once again
When the long road ends
Where there’s happiness and painlessness
And our long lost friends

I’ll find you in a kingdom
Upon a throne of gold
Where your life’s love and tragedies
Can be told by your soul

We shall meet in a place
Where I can see your shinning face
Where I can look upon your smile
As you reside in God’s Grace

Remember love is never lost
When it’s kept within the heart
So when you went away we stayed attached
For our love will never part

We shall meet once again
And your song will never end

“For Nana”

Mrs. Rush always had a smile for me that I carry with me to this day. She lives on in each and every heart she touched with that smile, especially mine. My best to the family.

Eric, Jimmy, and grandchildren, Mrs. Rush, was always such a nice lady. I remember her from my days on Franklin St. May she rest in peace.
