Good-Bye Joan, We'Ll Miss You

A Child when she got married Oh, so long ago A little girl then she carried She watched her family grow. For family meant the world to her As the years went rolling by So many events to smile about But there were those that made her cry. It didn't take much to make her happy Such as cooking delicious meals Calling "supper's ready, " at the table The perfect way wife and mother feels. She was such a wonderful cook, oh yes Why I can taste her roast beef now Mashed potatoes and brown gravy Such scrumptious old-fashioned chow. Her flowers she tended lovingly I have her Hens and Chicks that she shared Tucked into my garden spaces It was obvious she really cared. Her scrapbooks were simply amazing We sat up ‘til late one night When she shared those fun-filled pages Oh, what a treasured sight! She knew before her mind completely fled Something was just not right We stayed a few days to spend time with her As the light bulb was not so bright. One thing we all know for sure, Joan Your love of God has always been true And now you are home with Him Good-Bye Joan, we'll all miss you.
