My friend, may this day celebrate
The wise and loving woman
Whose thank you cards always seem to arrive
Just when I am feeling not so grateful;
Whose smile lights a room;
Who makes the best pineapple upside down cake
Anyone has ever tasted.
You have said your angels are letting you know
It's time to give up the struggle.
You are asking your friends to stop praying for miracles,
To just walk beside you until the time when we say goodbye.
While we hope that time is many, many years away
Forgive us if we stumble sometimes and weep,
We are still bound and blinded by earth
While you are freed by the sight of heaven before you.

Forgive us if we stumble sometimes and weep,
We are still bound and blinded by earth
While you are freed by the sight of heaven before you.
