As the pages of her life unfold
I tell a story that has gone untold
Not a story from rags to riches
But one of love, dedication and traditions,
She was a beauty born out of love
Who walked with the grace of a white morning dove
Her world was perfection
A princess at heart
Those who knew her well knew of this part
Her yard was immaculate
Not a leaf in sight
Like a picture portrait in the beauty of light
A devoted wife who loved the color pink
A stay at home mom who kept us in sync
Reunited at last in her true love’s arms
She’s gone home to Jesus
Alleluia amen
