A gentle soul

who loved to laugh

And always hugs to share

A loving heart

and twinkling eye

A friend beyond compare

A helping hand

when needed most

Sometimes a listening ear

To say goodbye

breaks my heart

Blinds my eyes with tears

But now it's time

for you to rest

As dusk gives way to dawn

We'll meet again

in tomorrow's light

In Heaven where hearts belong
