With Thanks And Love

For all the love you freely gave

The outstretched hand through strain and stress

And words of praise you often lent

Of hope and smiles, you quickly gave.

For all the joy your presence brought

You lit the paths, which I thought gray

And delivered moments rich in dreams

Your life passed quickly, I often thought.

But memories stayed and soothed my tears

For all the love you freely gave
The outstretched hand through strain and stress
And words of praise you often lent.

Of hope and smiles, you quickly gave
For all the joy your presence brought
You lit the paths, which I thought gray
And delivered moments rich in dreams
Your life passed quickly, I often thought
But memories stayed and soothed my tears
