A life well lived is a precious gift,
of hope and strength and grace,
from someone who has made our world
a brighter better place.
It’s filled with moments, sweet and sad
with smiles and sometimes tears
with friendships formed and good times shared,
and laughter through the years.
A life well lived is a legacy,
of joy and pride and pleasure,
a living lasting memory
our grateful hearts will treasure.
