Barbara
Barbara, dear Barbara, the four winds call out your name
The clouds dance to your laughter as in a child’s frolicking game
The seas sing symphonies of love with waves never ending
As we recall your time here on Earth and your spirit so unbending
We walk hand in hand with you, do our best to keep pace
As your zest for life carries you forward, as if to some magic meeting place.
You have touched many lives during your journey, all enriched by your caring
You have much to be proud of, the result of a lifetime of sharing
We cherish this time spent with you, as well as those in times past
Filled with memories so precious that they can never be surpassed
As love conquers all, we hold you in a special place in our heart
As we pray silently each day that God’s blessing he will impart.
We can not feel your fears, nor can we share in your pain
But we stand beside you, and our love will never ever wane
For better or worse, we are as one in this time of great trial
Remember, your family is your rock, your lighthouse, your isle
So be not disheartened as you wait for the next chapter to unfold
For only God knows for certain what tomorrow may hold
Charlie Gragg May 2009
