December, l996
The curtain rose some years ago
Revealing a story of heart
The performance was a play of life
For which each of us held a part
Through joyous scenes of celebration
To heartbreak we can see
The struggles that had faced us
To remain a family
The star was a beautiful woman
Whose emotion all watching could feel
Her love was ever present
Which no adversity could veil
The play continued on
Revealing the stories of her life
The caring, watching mother
The strong supporting wife
As leaves fell to the ground
Winter replacing fall,
The star of this story
Faced the biggest challenge of all
The cold winds of illness set in
Which she tirelessly tried to shun,
But finally her heart had enough
And her journey here was done
The audience watched and waited
Hoping the curtain to drop
But despite their prayful assumptions
The performance did not stop.
She waits and watches us from heaven
A new journey at its' dawn
And as she would have wanted it
The play continues on.
