Only One Step
Do not grieve for me my children, N ow that I have gone away. 1 have only stepped quietly through the door, Into the dawn o f a brighter day. If you could see the beauty, O f the garden 1 am walking through, If you could feel the touch o f His hand, You would want to walk here too. If you could see the sunshine, W ith no dark shadows lurking near, If you could know the joy supreme, I find with my Lord so dear, Where no sorrow can never be, You would be glad I slipped away, To this beautiful land of eternity. I 'll be watching day by day, A n d I will ask my Father to guide you, Lest you falter along the way. So when the day is over, A n d the night is drawing nigh, I pray you too, find it only a step, Where walk my precious Lord and I.
Goodight Mary (Teddy Graham) Barley, Your Loving Family

Perhaps you sent a lovely card, or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you 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 our hearts, we thank you so much, whatever the part.
