A Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from our family tree. I keep hearing a voice that says "Grieve not for me. Remember the best times, the laughter, the song. The good life I lived while I was strong. Continue on, I'm counting on you, Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through. My mind, my soul is at rest. Remembering all, how I truly was blessed. Continue traditions, no matter how small. Go on with your life, don't worry about the falls that come up. I will miss you all dearly from heaven above. Until the day comes we're together again"
