Not long ago in memory your soft
And gentle arm cradled us in infancy
And kept us safe from harm
You introduced our growing minds to
Music, books, and plays you've given
Us the gift of love in many, many ways
All the memories we own are not
Without your face, your strength,
Patience, loving heart, your beauty
And your grace
We've long since grown and now apart,
We miss you every day and there
Are things we feel for you yet never thought to say
When we look back upon our lives,
And all that we might do, we see the
Very best in us reflects a part of you
The love we feel is not expressed
Through words, but only these
You're all our lives, our hearts,
Our souls, and lovely memories
Dedicated to the memory of Ruth Ann Albert
