A picture of you

Graduation picture

June of 1932

You were a beauty,

Full of love

And laughter and life

A friend to many

Throughout your long life

An enemy to very few.

It's hard with you gone

The laughter we use to share

The memories

Now reduced to boxes of photos,

and books shared

And a million memories

Of seriousness

And silliness

Of laughter and tears

Of dreams and ambitions

Hello's and goodbyes

And one of the hardest goodbyes

Was when you passed on,

But we know you are at peace

Resting in the hands of Christ

And we have the memories

A Million memories.
