A Fallen Limb
A limb has fallen from the
family tree. I keep hearing
a voice that says, “Grieve
not for me. Remember the
best times, the laughter,
the song. The good life I
lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I’m
counting on you. Keep
smiling and surely the sun
will shine through. My
mind is at ease, my soul is
at rest. Remembering all,
how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no
matter how small. Go on
with your life, don’t worry
about falls. I miss you all
dearly, so keep up your
chin. Until the day comes
we’re together again.”
Eternal rest, grant unto, Albert Ray Keller, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
