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.
