Perhaps you sang a lovely sorlg, Or sat quietly in a chair:
Perhaps you sent a funeral spray, If so, we saw it th~re.
Perhaps you spoke the kindect words, As any friend could say:
Perhaps you were not there at all,
Just thought of us that day. Whatever you did to concol ~ our hearts,
We thank you so much whatever the part.
