"A Limb Has Fallen"

A limb has fallen from our family tree.

I hear a voice that says

"Grieve not for me"

Remember the best times,

the laughter, the songs,

the good life I lived

while I was strong.

Continue my heritage,

I'm counting on you.

Keep smiling and surely

the sun will shine through.

My mind is at ease,

my soul is at rest,

remembering all,

how truly I was blessed.

Continue traditions,

no matter how small.

Go on with your life,

Stand proud, and stand tall.

I miss you all dearly,

so keep up your chin,

until the day comes

when we're together again.
