Life, Love, Death, and Birth


How wonderful it must be

To be given life, to live in peace

What a gracious gift of love we have

To carry forward what she gave

But such a way that we all feel pain

To lose a loved one, but remain sane

And so the ways of life go on

Until every one of us is completely gone

 

 

 

 

 

In memorial of Sylvia Yvonne Willis

June 4, 1936 - October 3, 2017

(I miss you Grandmommy)
