Farewell

The sands of time are running low

And soon my children I must go

My heart with love for you is filled

But soon its beating must be stilled

I leave no treasures of any kind

Only my love I leave behind

Take it and share it between sister and brother

And always be kind to one another

Weep not beside the grave for me

Don't bring me flowers I cannot see

Only ashes lie neath the cold sod

Just pray that my soul has gone with God

Some of you perhaps may weep

When my eyes are closed in eternal sleep

But try to remember it won't be forever

For God can bring our spirits together

I pray that I go to a world far above

To be with the others that I love

And to wait awhile on that Heavenly plain

Until the day we shall meet again.

My grandmother passed away Sunday morning.

She truly was an angel on earth and in heaven!!
