"Only You"
W e cannot w alfjin your path Tor the roadyou traveled was wide. You touched the hearts o f those you met
Toryou met them w ith a smiCe.
A n d as you journeyed aCong the w ay You Ceft a warm th so dear
That memories o f you remained A n d thefo o tste p s very cCear.
There is no w ay to say goodbye Toryou wiCC6e CovedaCways. The speciaCw ay you 've touched our Cives W ith your gentCeness a n d caring ways.
That certain smiCe, that Coof^in your eyes A n d the softness w hen you 'd say, "T)on't worry, everything isfin e. " "I t 'CC6e okay, "wouCdstrengthen us
More than you knew or more than w e could say.
(But (jo d has seen yo u r promise A n d has calledyou to come home.
Y o u 've gone aw ay To your heavenly home W ith (jo d a t the throne.

Love ACways, Your W ife TamiCy

Tojerrotd
I am a part ofaCCthat I have met; Yet aCCexperience is an arch wherethro' Cj[earns that untraveCCdworCd, whose marginfa d e s
Tor ever a n d f o r ever w hen I move. OLow duCCit is to pause, to make an end, To rust un6umish d, not to shine in use!
A s tho ' to 6reathe were Cife. L ife piCedon Cife
Were aCCtoo CittCe, a n d o f one to me LittCe remains: 6ut every hour is saved Trom that etemaCsiCence, something more, A hringer o f new things; a n d viCe it were Tor some three suns to store a n d hoard myseCf A n d this gray spirit yearning in desire TofoCCow knowCedge, hike a sinking star, (Beyond the utmost 6ound o f human thought.
