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
