Perhaps you sent a Lovely card or sat Quietly in a Chair;
Perhaps 'JOU sent a floral Piece, if So, we saw it there.
Perhaps you said the nicest word any Friend could say;
Perhaps )'OU were not there at all, just Thought of us that day.
Whatetaer you did to console our hearts We thank you so much,
Whatever the part. -The Family
