Dear Lord

Put your Arms around her

Hold her in Your tender care

Make up to her for all she suffered

And all she had to bear.

She went through so much in silence

Her spirits didn’t bend

Until the very end.

It broke our hearts to lose her

But she didn’t go alone

For part of us went with her

The day God called her home.
