"IN THE MIST OF LIFE"

We all have a time not counted or printed

We gather many things of memories throughout our time

Cherishing those many memories of Family and Friends

Breathing in each day and enjoying that breath of Life

Waiting for the Day our Lord call us home

We tell our family just send me Tears of Joy

And let Them All Know I’m Finely Home
