ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Perhaps you sent a lovely card Or sat quietly in a chair,
Perhaps you sent afloral piece, If so we saw it there.
Perhaps y ou spoke the kindest words, As any friend could say;
Perhaps you were not there at all; Just thought of us that day.
Whatever you did to console the heart, We thank you so very much, for whatever the part.
--The Family
